The Pima Indians, Akimel O'odham, are known for their fine Indian baskets. Pima Indian basket materials are devils claw, willow and bear grass. The symbol of the Salt River Pima Indian is the Man in the Maze. The legend depicts the experiences that occur during the journey through the maze of life. At the center of the maze are the journeyers’ dreams and goals and when reaching the center they are met by the Sun God who passes them on to the next world. Other Pima Native American Indian basket forms include trays and ollas with both animal and human figures.
