How to Respectfully
visit Zuni
Pueblo
You are welcome to visit Zuni Pueblo
as a "respectful guest."
Please be aware that there are
many aspects of Zuni life that you may
not understand - or
even recognize but these important practices enable us
to
continue our way of life. Your respect for our cultural
traditions and
cooperation in the following guidelines will
ensure the continued privilege of
visits to our very
special community.
Please -
- Check-in with the Visitor Center before starting your
visit to Zuni Pueblo
to get an orientation and current
information. Remember, you are visiting
an active
community of residents' daily lives and homes - not a museum
or
theme park.
- Use common sense etiquette as well as respect all rules
and regulations of
the Pueblo.
- Consider capturing visual memories instead of
photographs! Assume that
ALL "cultural" activities within
the Pueblo are off-limits to photograph,
video or audio
record or sketch unless specifically informed
otherwise.
Always inquire first and ask permission before
photographing any activity
involving people. NO
photography is permitted of images inside the
Old
Mission. Request permission from the Tribe before
publishing any photo
graphs or information regarding Zuni
Pueblo's activities.
- Observe with quiet respect any traditional dances and
events that you may encounter.
Asking questions or
speaking loudly interrupts the participants' concentration.
Watch
such activities from a distance without blocking
any Zuni participants' views. Applause
is as
inappropriate as in a church setting.
- Exercise common sense by not climbing around fragile
archaeological structures or
adobe walls. Removal of
artifacts or objects from these areas is a Federal
offense.
- Respect our community by not using alcohol or drugs and
not bringing weapons.
- Hike only in designated areas (check at Visitor Center)
and not around archaeological
ruin sites.
- Do not bring pets into the historic "Middle Village" and
make sure your children are
controlled and
respectful.
- Be aware that the Pueblo of Zuni can not be responsible
for injuries, theft, or damage
incurred by visitors.
- Violators of these rules are subject to penalties in
accordance with
Zuni Tribal and Federal
laws.
