The #Zuni (Zuni: A:shiwi; formerly spelled Zuñi) are Native American Pueblo peoples native to the Zuni River valley. The Zuni are a Federally recognized tribe and most live in the Pueblo of Zuni on the Zuni River, a tributary of the Little Colorado River, in western New Mexico, United States. The Pueblo of Zuni is 55 km (34 mi) south of Gallup, New Mexico.

#Zuni artwork is absolutely stunning! The detail in the embroidery is amazing. It's fascinating how the sashes cover the edges of the kilt. Have you ever considered making something like this yourself?

When commercial fabrics were introduced in the 1920s and 30s, Zuni textiles wer into huge decline. Today very few #Zuni weavers actually know how to make kilts or the brocade (embroidery) anymore. So I had to teach myself to do all this. Now we trying to get young people to carry on this tradition.

#FoodSovereignty Team Shares Knowledge, Nourishes Community This Fall

#CommunityGardening and #SeedSaving remain central to the team’s efforts, despite the challenges this year due to excessive summer heat, pervasive drought and a dwindling water supply. Fortunately, the garden at Ho’n A:wan Park is now thriving with the arrival of cooler fall temperatures and some rain.

Excerpt: "The food sovereignty team also recently hosted two workshops for the Zuni community. One was a virtual workshop on pickling, which #ZYEP recorded and uploaded to social media so it would always be accessible.

" 'Khass pickled cucumbers, chili peppers, onions and purslane, which grows abundantly here,' Seowtewa said, noting that purslane, a fleshy-leafed succulent plant, tastes a lot like artichoke hearts.

"ZYEP also hosted an in-person workshop in partnership with James and Joyce Skeets, owners of Vanderwagen, New Mexico-based Spirit Farm. Fifteen community members attended the workshop, which gave them opportunities to learn about—and taste—some of the plants grown at the farm, including basil, hyssop, chili peppers, mint, nasturtiums and Stevia leaf."

My better half’s #birthdaypresent just arrived in the mail. (Phew! I thought it might not make it in time.)

It’s a #Zuni (#NativeAmerican) #turquoise #brooch.

A beautiful Water Jar (Olla) reveals the rich narrative of Zuni culture, merging functionality with artistry. Its Rainbird motif symbolizes the life-giving power of water, connecting communities. How does this blend of utility and beauty resonate with you?

Originally seed pots were pottery vessels created to safely store seeds for the following growing season. Some contemporary artists, in a revival of tradition, are calling attention to the seed pot by making ornate sterling silver miniatures.

Zuni people from the village of Hawikuu fled to the Dowa Yalanne mesa top to escape the attack by the Coronado expedition in 1540. The 14 structures used as a refuge from the Spaniards off and on between 1540 and 1680 were called Heshoda Ayahltona ("ancient buildings above").

We'Wha (1849-1896), a Zuni Lhamana or two-spirit person

Matilda Coxe Stevenson, an anthropologist visiting #Zuni, wrote a lot of interesting things about We'Wha, but my favorite: Stevenson tried to get the Zuni interested in laundry, which, like, it's hot and dusty and a lot of work and they were not into it, but We'Wha thought laundry was really cool.
