Unlike other Southwestern tribes, the Zuni language is unrelated to other Native American tongues and considered an âisolate.â It should be noted that the Zuni Indians later adopted words from Hopi and Pima tribes to describe certain religious observances and ceremonies.
Today the Zuni Pueblo, some 35 miles south of Gallup, New Mexico has a population of about 6,000. Archeological evidence shows they have lived in this location for about 1,300 years.Their tribal name is A'shiwi (Shi'wi), meaning the flesh. The name Zuni was a Spanish adaptation of a word of unknown meaning.he Zuni gods are believed to reside in the lakes of Arizona and New Mexico. The chiefs and the shamans carry out ceremonies during religious festivals. Song and dance accompanies masked performances by the chiefs while the shamans pray to the gods for favors ranging from fertile soil to abundant amounts of rain.
