Zuni culture

Zuni culture originates from the Zuni people, a Native American tribe residing in western New Mexico. They are known for their rich traditions, which include unique pottery, intricate jewelry, and vibrant dances performed during religious ceremonies. Zuni spirituality is deeply connected to nature and includes a belief in kachinas, spirit beings that represent elements of nature and ancestral spirits. The Zuni language belongs to the Puebloan languages, and their communal lifestyle emphasizes cooperation and family ties. Agriculture, particularly the cultivation of maize, plays a vital role in their culture, alongside a strong emphasis on oral history and storytelling.
