Papago baskets are a traditional coiled basketry created by the Tohono O’odham people (historically known as Papago), an Indigenous nation residing in the Sonoran Desert spanning Arizona, USA, and Sonora, Mexico. These baskets are renowned for their intricate designs, durability, and deep cultural significance, often woven by women as a way to preserve stories, traditions, and environmental connections. They are not just utilitarian objects but symbols of identity, used historically for food preparation, storage, carrying water, religious ceremonies, and even warfare.
