Zuni traditional education

Zuni traditional education emphasizes experiential learning within the community and deep connections to cultural practices. Knowledge is passed down through storytelling, rituals, and hands-on activities, often involving elders who serve as mentors. Education includes learning about Zuni language, customs, agricultural practices, and spiritual beliefs, fostering a strong sense of identity and belonging. Social skills, environmental stewardship, and communal values are integral, promoting a holistic approach that integrates the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life. This culturally rich framework aims to prepare individuals to contribute positively to their community while preserving Zuni heritage for future generations.
