The Tohono O'odham (Tah-hah-nah Ah-ah-dahm) people of Southern Arizona are some of the finest contemporary basket weavers in America.  They specialize in two types of basketry.  One is yucca (white or green), devil's claw (black) or yucca root (red) stitches over a beargrass foundation.  The other is horsehair weaving, using natural horsehair colors to make the designs.  Many Tohono O'odham are especially proficient at miniature work, and both types may be seen in small form.  While basketry is a disappearing art form among most Native American tribes, Tohono O'odham weavers persist in creating lovely pieces despite the labor intensive process, not to mention the strenuous tasks of gathering and preparing all of the materials.  Open stitch work tends to be less expensive, as fewer stitches are required over the foundation "coil," and hence less time is involved in the finished piece.
