Zuni Pueblo is the largest of the nineteen New Mexican Pueblos, covering more than 700 square miles and with a population of over 10,000.
We are considered the most traditional of all the New Mexico Pueblos, with a unique language, culture, and history that resulted in part from our geographic isolation. With perhaps 80% of our workforce involved in making arts, we are indeed an “artist colony.” Our main “industry” is the production of arts, including inlay silverwork, stone “fetish” carving, pottery, and others of which we are world famous.
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated.

Most of Zuni’s residents live in the main village of Zuni and the nearby “suburb” community of Blackrock. Zuni is a sovereign, self-governed nation with our own constitutional government, courts, police force, school system, and economic base. Our year is marked by a cycle of traditional ceremonial activities; the most sacred and perhaps the most recognized is the annual Sha’lak’o event.
Please be aware that there are restrictions in place for non-Zuni’s wishing to witness our religious activities. We ask that visitors respect our cultural privacy by following the appropriate etiquette and guidelines. Our ceremonial activities are what make the Zuni people unique.
Respect for our A:shiwi culture, heritage, and way of life vitalizes our community today, as much as does our involvement in modern society. Cell phones, microwave ovens, CD’s, computer technology and the Internet are as much a part of Zuni life today as are our age-old traditions.
Zuni religion, language, agriculture, and customs continue to be essential parts of Zuni life and are passed from one generation to the next. For centuries, our practice of annual traditional rituals has brought blessings, peace, harmony, long life, and fertility to the Zuni people – and, we believe, to the people of the world!
Your respect for our way of life and cultural practices enables us to continue our culture.
Elahkwa / Thank You for respecting our traditions.
