Zuni Emergence and Migration History
With Curtis Quam and Jim Enote
December 11, 2010 :: 2 p.m.

Zunis believe they emerged from Mother Earth within the Grand Canyon and migrated across the Colorado Plateau to Halona Idiwana’a or the Middle Place of the World, home of the Zuni for at least the last 1300 years. A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center Technician Curtis Quam, joined by A:shiwi A:wan director Jim Enote, will present “Zuni Emergence and Migration History,” beginning in the Grand Canyon, to European contact at the ancestral A:shiwi village of Hawikku, post contact history, arrival of the Americans, and finally to the influence of ethnographers, anthropologists, and archaeologists on the A:shiwi way of life. Accompanying images for this talk are from the A:shiwi A:wan exhibit Hawikku: Echoes from Our Past.

Admission is free with regular museum admission.
