A Papago doll made from cactus ribs likely refers to a traditional craft of the Tohono O’odham (formerly called Papago) people, a Native American tribe from the Sonoran Desert in Arizona and Mexico. These dolls are often handmade using natural materials, including the ribs of the saguaro cactus, which are the woody, skeletal structures left after the cactus dies. The ribs are lightweight, durable, and historically used by the Tohono O’odham for various tools and crafts, including dolls or figurines.
