• What crops did the Tohono O'odham and Papago grow?

  The Tohono O'odham planted crops of corn, beans, and squash. Tohono O'odham men also hunted deer, javelinas, and small game like rabbits, while women gathered nuts, fruits, and herbs. Favorite Papago recipes included cornbread and stews, which they baked in pit ovens. Here is a website with more information about traditional Indian crops.

• What kind of clothing did the Tohono O'odham wear?

  Originally, Tohono O'odham people didn't wear much clothing-- men wore only native breechcloths and sometimes deerskin leggings, and women wore knee-length skirts. Shirts were not necessary in Papago culture, but the Papagos sometimes wore rabbit-skin robes at night when the weather became cooler.
