Zuni governance
Zuni governance refers to the political and social organization of the Zuni Pueblo, a Native American community in New Mexico. It is characterized by a combination of traditional practices and modern systems. The Zuni Tribe is led by elected officials, including a governor and a council, who manage community affairs, including resources, education, and cultural preservation. Governance is also deeply rooted in Zuni cultural beliefs, emphasizing communal decision-making, consensus, and respect for traditions. This blend of democratic principles and cultural stewardship shapes how the Zuni people govern themselves while maintaining their unique identity.
