In addition, the Southwest collections include:

Historical ceramics, textiles (blankets, sashes, dresses, and kilts), agricultural implements, kachina dolls, and other art and artifacts from the Hopi Tribe. Probably the largest collection for any single culture group in the Museum, this assemblage is complemented by many turn-of-the-century photographs taken in Hopi villages.

Baskets, ceremonial objects, medicines, clothing, and games from the Western Apache; most were gathered in the White Mountain Apache Reservation during the early twentieth century. The Field Museum and the White Mountain Apache Cultural Center have developed a collaborative relationship based on the collection.
