Best Answer

The Navajo ceremonial baskets, called ts'aa', are made of sumac ( chiilchin in Navajo) and sometimes yucca fiber and devils claw. They are always white, black and red. There are many taboos that must be avoided in their making. Many are made by Ute or Paiute women today as the they are not subject to the same taboos. They are a necessary item for many rituals.

Bison did not live in significant numbers in the high elevation southwest where the Navajo live. Bison figure in certain mythic stories where they appear to stand for Plains tribal peoples.
