Among the Pimas, women spun cotton fibers into thread, but men did all the weaving. In addition to cotton blankets, Pima men also wove belts like the one to the right.

Similar belts served as headbands or turbans to wrap the long hair preferred in the past by men among the Pima and other neighboring Indian societies.  This photograph shows José Pocati, a Quechan man from western Arizona, wearing such a headband.
