Zuni cosmology

Zuni cosmology views the universe as a sacred, interconnected place where Earth and the spiritual world are woven together. The Zuni believe spiritual forces govern natural elements like the sun, moon, stars, rivers, and animals, maintaining harmony and balance. They see humans as part of this sacred order, responsible for respecting nature and spiritual practices. Rituals, mythology, and ceremonies reinforce their understanding that life’s wellbeing depends on maintaining harmony between the physical and spiritual realms, emphasizing balance, reverence, and the interconnectedness of all creation.
