Tohono O'odham Basketry

Explore traditional Tohono O'odham baskets handcrafted by Native American weavers using natural materials gathered from the Sonoran Desert.

These baskets are woven using techniques passed down through generations. The inner coil, or warp, is made from split beargrass, while the outer weaving, or weft, typically uses soaptree yucca in natural green or sun-bleached white. Weavers may also incorporate devil's claw pods for black designs or, more rarely, banana yucca root for red accents.

Your purchase helps support Tohono O'odham weavers and the Native Seeds/SEARCH mission to conserve and share heirloom seeds of the Southwest.
