	Zuni (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Zuni tribe is said to have originated from a tribe that lived in the same area over 1,000 years prior to the coming of the Europeans.
		While many anthropologists believe that the Zuni are related to the other pueblo tribes that are scattered throughout the Southwest, they are unique in that their language, to this day, is only spoken by them and bares no resemblance to the languages of any of the other surrounding tribes.
		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.

	Zuni - Crystalinks
		The Zuni or Ashiwi are a Native American tribe, one of the Pueblo peoples, who live in the Pueblo of Zuni on the Zuni River, a tributary of the Little Colorado River, in western New Mexico.
		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.
		Zuni ceremonies are of two kinds: those in which masked men impersonate the ancestral gods and those in which the shamanistic societies play the leading part.

		When asparagus is at its freshest, the Zuni does a lot of terrific things with it--one of my favorites being to serve the asparagus warm, perfectly blanched or par-boiled with toasted breadcrumbs, sieved hard cooked egg and a fine caper vinaigrette.
		Pizzas at Zuni are stellar, the only ones coming close are the small pizzas I’ve tasted at 2223 and it’s a case of preference in the crusts.
		Zuni also offers a full bar located at the narrow entry of the wedge shaped facility, a large and well thought out wine list, a great selection of beers and ales, a menu for coffee and tea, and even a water and soda menu.

	The Zuni View of Nature
		The Zunis believe that everything should be as it was when their ancestors emerged into this world from the underworld, when they were given crops and a way of life, a culture.
		It was the dominant role of religion in Zuni life that prompted anthropologists and casual visitors alike to cite Zuni as an example of a theocracy ruled by a council of priests.
		In Zuni ritual poetry, in songs, in the worship of the Kachinas, in advice given by ceremonial fathers to their ‘sons’ at initiations, the same images are evoked and the same words and phrases are repeated.

	People of the Colorado Plateau-The Zuni (part 1 of 4)
		The Zuni Indians and their ancestors have lived in the Zuni River valley and the surrounding region for more than 1,500 years [location map].

	Honoring Nations 2002 >> Zuni Eagle Sanctuary
		Successfully meeting the Zunis’ demand for molted eagle feathers that are used in religious and cultural ceremonies, the Sanctuary is also a model of intergovernmental cooperation between a tribal government and federal agency.
