| − | The '''Zuni''' (As'hiwi) are a [[pueblo]] tribe, living in [[New Mexico]] with a population of roughly 10,000 people. They tend to be very protective of their [[religion]], so not much has been written about it. They are by and large an agrarian people, and their religion centers around the Earth Mother, the Father Sky (or Father Sun), and the Granddaughter Moon. After contact, the Zuni adapted some of the traditional "Western, Southwestern" culture, and frequently have [[rodeo]]s that retain both a religious aspect as well as a very modern secular aspect. | + | The '''Zuni''' (As'hiwi) are a [[pueblo]] tribe, living in [[New Mexico]] with a population of roughly 10,000 people.
