n the distant past,
the Native Americans referred to as the Anasazi people, occupied the
valleys, lakes & streams of the White Mountains, located a little over one hour and a
half of travel time southwest of the Zuni area. The descendants of the Anasazi, the Hopi,
Zuni and other Pueblo people, presently populate areas in New Mexico and Arizona. The
White Mountains area is now geared for vacationers and corresponding activities of all
types. Pinetop/Lakeside, where ANASAZI
TRADING POST is located, is a thriving natural wonderland area whose development
is presently strongly stimulated by the White Mountain Apache Wildlife & Outdoor
Recreation Division's vast offering of activities. The White mountain Apache
tribe also maintain a complete entertainment complex (including a casino) near Pinetop and
the Sunrise Park Resort, a Summer and
Ski prime recreation recreation area (and the closest ski resort to Zuni, whose cafeteria
features GREAT locally made beef stew!).
An area well worth visiting on your way from the Zuni area into nearby Arizona. |
| Allen & Renee both are
both descendants of "Indian Traders" who settled in the Southwest at the turn of
the 20th century. Allen's great grandfather was adopted by his cousins, the Hubbells, of
the historic Hubbell Trading Post in
Ganado, Arizona. At an early age, he learned about trading from his grandfather, Ralph
Garcia Snyder Armijo. Renee is the daughter of The Inn At Halona's Hosts Elaine &
Roger Thomas and a descendant of the Vander Wagen family, who settled in New Mexico in
1897, performed missionary work and eventually also engaged into agriculture and
trading. At this time several members of that family are still involved in
businesses in the Southwest, including Halona Plaza and The Inn At Halona
here in Zuni. ANASAZI TRADING POST retails arts & crafts items originating from
several surrounding native tribes (Hopi, Navajo, Santo Domingo, Zuni and of course Apache)
and maintains a fruitful relationship with neighboring Apache tribal members and medicine
men for whom they stock a complete inventory of genuine ceremonial supplies. |
