San Xavier Mission is on the Tohono O'odham Nation lands and it is interesting to see the mix
of cultures / religions at the mission. Here is a gate showing I'itoi, the Man in the Maze.
From Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'itoi ) :
Iʼitoi or Iʼithi is, in the tradition of the O'odham people, the mischievous creator god who resides in
a cave just 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. I'itoi is said to have
brought the Hohokam people to this earth from the underworld; they are said to be ancestors of both
the Tohono O'odham and the Pima. 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.
