I'itoi
Iʼitoi or Iʼithi is, in the cosmology of the O'odham peoples, the mischievous creator god who resides in a cave below the peak of Baboquivari Mountain, part of the Tohono O'odham Nation. Visitors to the cave are asked to bring a gift to ensure their safe return from the depths. O'odham oral history describes I'itoi bringing Hohokam people to this earth from the underworld. Hohokam are ancestors of both the Tohono O'odham and the Akimel O'odham (Pima people). He is also responsible for the gift of the ''Himdag'', a series of commandments guiding people to remain in balance with the world and interact with it as intended.
==Name==
The Pima also refer to I'itoi as ''Se:he'' "Elder Brother", also ''See-a-huh''. The term Iʼithi is a dialectal variant used by the Hia C-eḍ O'odham.
He is most often referred to as the Man in the Maze, a reference to a design appearing on native basketry and petroglyphs which positions him at the entry to a labyrinth. This labyrinth is believed by the Pima to be a floorplan of his house, and by the Tohono O'odham to be a map giving directions to his house.
