Suma people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Suma were an Indigenous people of Aridoamerica. They had two branches, one living in the northern part of the Mexican state of Chihuahua and the other living near present-day El Paso, Texas.[1] They were semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers who practiced little or no agriculture. The Suma merged with Apache groups[2] and the mestizo population of northern Mexico, and are extinct as a distinct people.[3][4]
