Hopi Baskets
 From their mesas in north-eastern Arizona, the HOPI create baskets of remarkable quality and variety. Baskets are a central way of Hopi life, as they are used during ceremonial dances, weddings and other important events. Hopi basketry can often be distinguished from other traditions by their use of deep, bright color. |  | |
