The Zuni Pueblo is located in western New Mexico and has resided in the region for thousands of years. The Zuni people primarily farm corn, squash, and beans and raise livestock for subsistence. They are governed by an elected tribal council and practice a matrilineal culture centered around clans. Traditional Zuni religion is based on worship of ancestors and supernatural beings through ceremonial groups. The Zuni language, though isolate, is preserved through intergenerational teaching as well as literacy and dictionary projects.
