The information presented
in this site is offered primarily as a service for visitors to the site maintained by the
Inn At Halona, a Bed & Breakfast located in the Pueblo of Zuni and licensed by the
Zuni Tribe. We strive to present our guests with a genuine taste of Zuni's traditional
hospitality and to inform them and other interested individuals (including community
members) about Zuni in a manner consistent with the community's wishes in that
respect. We make all possible efforts to insure that this information remains
accurate, lively and appropriate. We also wish to defer to the following institutions for
further, more extensive information about Zuni cultural topics.
The Zuni A:Shiwi A:wan Museum & Heritage Center
(505.782.4403 - Listed in New Mexico's "Alphabetical Index" of
Museums, Parks & Monuments) and the Zuni Tribal Commerce Department
(505.782.4481) are vested by the Zuni Tribal Government and Zuni's cultural preservation
offices with authority and resources to provide the necessary and appropriate information
to visitors about Zuni, its culture and environment, and visitor etiquette. Both
institutions are currently working on publishing updated information for visitors to Zuni
and of course for interested community members. Visitors are strongly encouraged to
stop by the Museum upon arriving at Zuni before proceeding with their visit of our
community. The adjoining Pueblo Of Zuni Arts & Crafts Tribal Enterprise (website under development!) offers a
complete selection of native Arts & Crafts products and harbors a vast room dedicated
to providing information to visitors.
The
A:Shiwi A:wan
Museum & Heritage Center now offers a new, full-color brochure which includes
details about the Museum's role in the community as an eco-museum, and about featured
exhibits & available visitor's information. Its own website has just
been published! Also, the Museum's Visitor Center is now
open to the local and visiting public. It is located within the adjoining Pueblo of
Zuni Arts & Crafts enterprise and contains much
information for first time and returning visitors: all
are strongly encouraged to inquire within the Museum
itself for additional, timely information about Zuni. Museum personnel is available to
provide information & guidance, especially during and about the many special times
during the year when religious events are occurring here: such information goes a long way
towards putting visitors at ease while they visit Zuni, as well as preventing unfortunate,
uncomfortable mishaps (untimely, inappropriate photography, etc...).
The Pueblo of Zuni has started publishing ITS
OWN WEB SITE: this is a most welcome initiative, since
it allows our community to have its own authoritative, official voice among the so many
web sites which have so far attempted - more or less successfully and accurately! - to
describe or even represent Zuni, the Zuni people and particularly Zuni's world famous
Artists. The Zuni Pueblo Tribal web site is currently under development and already
promises to be most attractive & informative: the Inn At Halona's web site shall
repeatedly refer visitors to the Pueblo of Zuni's web site! CONGRATULATIONS to the
Pueblo of Zuni's own "Websmith"!
We especially encourage
visitors and community members to view exhibits and partake of colorful cultural
information and activities at the A:Shiwi A:Wan Museum & Heritage Center and, why not,
at other wonderful "Cultural Treasures" in New
Mexico!
