This basket features a large, prominent eagle as the focal design. The eagle is very important to all Native peoples, and the Hopi are no exception. The eagle is used in a number of religious ceremonies and its feathers are used in pahos (prayer sticks), on Katsina and Katsina dolls, and in home altars. The Hopi have the utmost respect for eagles.
