Zuni religion is a traditional spiritual practice of the Zuni people, an indigenous tribe in the American Southwest. It encompasses a deep connection to nature, the land, and ancestors, involving rituals, ceremonies, and a pantheon of deities. Central to their belief is the concept of harmony, which influences daily life and the community's social structure. Through rituals like the kachina dances, the Zuni honor spirits that embody natural forces and aspects of life. The religion emphasizes respect for the environment, the importance of community, and the continuation of cultural traditions passed down through generations.
