Zuni Pueblo

The Zuni Pueblo is the largest of the 19 in the Four Corners area. Eighty percent of them are engaged in the creation of top quality crafts, primarily jewelry and pottery. We had an opportunity to learn first hand from Zuni artists on our visit to the village.





After a traditional lunch of tamales, mutton stew, and bean pudding, we watched a jeweler create in silver and a potter draw her designs.






On the walls of the Old Zuni Mission is a mural of a parade of characters symbolic in the creation story and beliefs of the tribe. We were privileged to hear these stories from the artist who painted the murals in this historic church.
