Terrol Dew Johnson is a Tohono O’odham basket weaver, community leader, and a nationally recognized advocate for Native communities. Johnson's work reflects his culture, his family, and the desert, and he has learned about tradition, patience, and technique from his elders. He combines this respect for tradition and heritage of hard work with his own artistic vision, reflecting the world he lives in with innovative, modern designs, materials, and forms in his baskets. His baskets have won major awards at the Santa Fe Indian Market, the O’odham Tash, the Heard Museum Fair, and the Southwest Indian Art Fair, and his work is in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian and the Heard Museum. He founded the Tohono O'odham Basketweavers Organization (TOBA) as a part of TOCA (Tohono O’odham Community Action) in 1996 to help O'odham weavers get fair prices for their products, access traditional harvesting grounds for the basket materials, and create community spaces for learning and exchange. Johnson lived and worked in Sells, Arizona, on the Tohono O'odham Nation.

Terrol Dew Johnson passed away in May 2024.
