Zuni Origins

Zuni Origins refer to the cultural and historical beginnings of the Zuni people, a Native American tribe indigenous to the southwestern United States. According to their traditional stories, the Zuni believe they emerged from an underworld or spiritual realm, guided by sacred beings, to settle in their current homeland. Archaeological and historical evidence suggests that they have lived in the Southwest for centuries, developing distinct language, religious practices, and craftsmanship. Their origins are rooted in deep spiritual beliefs and a strong connection to the land, reflecting a rich cultural heritage that continues to influence their community today.
