The Middle Place - Made of Glass & SteelAbout the Community - Zuni, New MexicoZuni Pueblo is the largest of the nineteen New Mexican Pueblos, covering more than 700 square miles and has a population of over 10,000 inhabitants. Additionally, they are considered the most traditional of all New Mexico Pueblos with a unique language, culture and history which is due in part to its geographic isolation. The people and their families who have endured throughout the years here have shown their resiliency and endurance to be as strong as their building material; centuries of creating homes and buildings with adobe, sandstone, wood, cement, glass and even steel are a part of Zuni Pueblo's legacy which stand strong to this day.

n impressive feat, considering this was the initial location of "first contact" between the Europeans and the Native People in the Southwest in 1540 with the arrival of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, 16 th -century Spanish explorer. Come to Zuni to help the People, stay in Zuni to be a part of the People; a rich and thriving hub of culture and history, one that once was almost eradicated yet persevered against all odds, and will continue to do so with your help. And while you're here, explore the many archaeological adventure tours they have to offer, where you get the opportunity to see for yourself a rich variety of ancestral images etched into the sandstone cliffs, experience the ancestral villages, and learn the stories of Old, passed from generation to generation.
