Zuni cultural preservation
Zuni cultural preservation refers to the efforts made by the Zuni people, a Native American tribe in New Mexico, to maintain and protect their unique traditions, language, art, and spiritual practices. This includes teaching the Zuni language to younger generations, preserving traditional crafts like pottery and jewelry, and celebrating rituals and dances that are integral to their identity. By documenting their history and engaging with both their community and outside audiences, the Zuni strive to ensure that their rich heritage continues to thrive despite challenges from modernization and external influences.
