Zuñi Folk Tales 

Zuñi folk tales are traditional stories from the Zuñi Native American tribe in the southwestern United States, primarily New Mexico. These stories are orally passed down through generations and offer insights into Zuñi culture and beliefs. Common themes include the animation of natural elements, moral lessons, supernatural elements, creation myths, and trickster figures. These tales are considered sacred and serve to preserve Zuñi knowledge, values, and traditions within their community.
