I grew up in the the village of No:ligk, Arizona on the Tohono O'odham Nation. When I was growing up, all of the women in my family wove baskets as a part of daily life. I remember watching my maternal grandmother and my mother, Rosario Cruz, and learning about baskets until I finally started weaving myself. I now weave traditional Tohono O'odham baskets. I mostly weave to keep connected to my Tohono O'odham culture, especially to share it with my grandchildren. Coming from a long line of weavers, I will do my best to share it with my grandchildren. It helps them - and me - keep disciplined and connected the O'odham Himdag - the Desert People's Way.
