Keeya, a little girl from the Shivwits Band of Paiutes in Southern Arizona, plays gleefully in her favorite tree. When she grows up she will be known, along with other Paiute women, as the women of the desert, respected and admired. They are especially known for their superior basket weaving. The Paiute name is said to mean "Water Ute" or "True Ute".—Barbara Sullivan
