Zuni Pueblo
Zuni Pueblo is the largest of the New Mexico Pueblos, with over 830 square miles and a tribal
population of over 10,000. Zuni Pueblo was the first Pueblo the Spanish laid eyes on in the 1500s.
Since then, Zuni Pueblo has been a key element in New Mexico history. Zuni Pueblo offers visitors
wealth of experiences from their deep cultural, history and their awesome scenic beauty. Zuni artisans
are skilled in inlay silver, stone fetish carving, pottery, paintings, and beadwork. Zuni Pueblo is
a sovereign, self-governed nation with its own constitutional government. The Zuni calendar year is
marked by the most sacred and most recognized ceremony, its Sha’lako. The murals in the Mission
Church of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe are remarkable examples of Zuni paintings at its best. The
Zuni Governor’s Office at (505) 782-7022 can be called for more information.
