Waw Giwulk

Waw Giwulk, known in English as Baboquivari Peak, rises above the desert of the Tohono O’odham homeland. Its distinctive narrow summit is a sacred place and a centre of O’odham cosmology. In traditional accounts it is the home of I’itoi, Elder Brother, a creator figure associated with the making of the world and its people. The mountain stands as a landmark visible across the surrounding valleys.
