Economy Economic support for the tribe comes from a variety of sources. Some of the Tohono Oʼodham still farm or engage in subsistence ranching. The tribe sells and leases copper mineral rights to support itself. Gambling from the three casinos that the tribe operates has become the major source of support for the tribe in terms of revenue and jobs creation. The tribe operates the Tohono Oʼodham Utility Authority a tribal firm established in 1970 to provide electric and water service to the reservation. Basket weaving remains an economic pursuit; the tribe produces more basketry than any other tribe in the United States.
