Zuni - Crystalinks Zunis believe that animals, as well as inanimate objects and the forces of nature, have a spirit force, which can either help or hurt man. It is believed that the carved animal fetishes host that spiritual force and, if treated properly, will help their owners to overcome the problems facing them. Each year, usually around the winter solstice, the Zunis observe We-ma-a-wa u-pu-k'ia, or "The Day of the Council of Fetishes." On this day, all the fetishes belonging to the tribe and its individual members are brought to an altar in the Zuni council chamber. The Zuni are one of the few fortunate tribes who have managed to keep their ways of life the same throughout the years despite the westward push of the European immigrant settlers, the Mexican-American war, and the rough treatment they endured during all of the conflicts that they dealt with. www.crystalinks.com /zuni.html   (4059 words)

Zuni Zunis believe that animals, as well as inanimate objects and the forces of nature, have a spirit force, which can either help or hurt man. It is believed that the carved animal fetishes host that spiritual force and, if treated properly, will help their owners to overcome the problems facing them. The Zuni are one of the few fortunate tribes who have managed to keep their ways of life the same throughout the years despite the westward push of the European immigrant settlers, the Mexican-American war, and the rough treatment they endured during all of the conflicts that they dealt with.

The Use of Zuni Fetishes as a Modern Oracle For example, the Zunis believe the santo to be a female deity that, according to their legends, is the child of a daughter of the Sun; each fall they perform a ceremonial dance for the santo, who is thought to bring fertility for all of humankind and nature. Furthermore, the Zuni would consider it a selfish and ignorant act, a sign that the perpetrator was out of balanc~and it is the Zuni's balance that keeps him or her in favor with the natural forces and free of disease and hardship. Zuni cosmology begins with an ambiguous description of a formless mist and the presence of A’wonawil’ona, who is the "Container of All Things." Everything created in the universe comes from within A’wonawil’ona, including life spirit, which permeates all and links humanity with the entirety of nature and the cosmos. www.sedonawolf.com /Fetish/shart1.html   (4882 words)

By: Ric Carter Re: Zuni Philosophy #1 Reproduced in ZUNI FETISHES and ZUNI by Frank Hamilt True, there are many beings in Zuni Mythology godlike in attributes, anthro- pomorphic, monstrous, and elemental, which are known as the "Finishers or Makers of the path of life," while the most superior of all is called the "Holder of the paths (of our lives)," Ha-a-no-o-na wi-la-po-na. They are either such as have been found by the Zunis about pueblos formerly inhabited by their ancestors or are tribal possessions which have been handed down from generation to generation, until their makers, and even the fact that they were made by any member of the tribe, have been forgotten. Because of his habit of dressing in a dandified version of a Zuni warrior the Zunis nicknamed him "Many Buttons", a reference to his overuse of silver decorations. www.skepticfiles.org /misc3/zuni.htm   (1408 words)
