Zuni ceremonialism

Zuni ceremonialism refers to the spiritual practices, rituals, and ceremonies of the Zuni people, a Native American tribe from the southwestern United States. These ceremonies are vital for maintaining harmony, health, and balance within the community and with the natural world. They often involve sacred dances, prayers, offerings, and the use of symbolic objects, conducted by spiritual leaders known as shamans or medicine men. Zuni ceremonies are deeply rooted in their beliefs about harmony with nature, ancestors, and spiritual forces, serving to renew their connection to the land, community, and spiritual realm.
