I'itoi Ki - Maze of Life Canvas Print Kids Puzzles By Chester NezThe words I'itoi Ki translate to I'itois house, referring to the creator called Elder Brother who travels to his home in a circular path. This path also represents a person's journey through life, each turn symbolizing a life changing event. At the end of the path, a niche allows one to reflect on one's life before journeying onward to the center. Behind the pathway is a Hohokam motif representing the clouds and water that is vital to desert people.
