Old Zuni Mission, New Mexico

The Zuni build upon the ruins of their ancestral dwellings. It is not a custom to remove them.

No services are held here at the Zuni Mission. Its only a tourist attraction. Christianity was not accepted by the Zuni nor by many other tribes of  Native American People.

Kokopelli


This is the biggest and best kokopelli pictograph I've ever seen. It is near life size in red ochre. If I remember correctly, it's in Southern Colorado near Great Sand Dunes NP. Kokopelli was a fertility God, bringer of the spring and rain with the playing of his flute. Petroglyphs date back 3000 years throughout the southwest.
