Who are the Zuni?
The Zuni Indian pueblo is in itself a unique place because it is secluded, off the beaten path, and in ways untouched. The reservation is approximately 35 miles south of Gallup, set along the western border of New Mexico. The Zuni reservation has around 6,000 members and is on a high plateau lying between six thousand and nine thousand feet. The Zuni language is spoken by fewer than eight thousand people and no other people speak a language even similar to Zuni.
