The Zuni are Pueblo people living in the American Southwest. Their traditional craft is pottery. They have a ceremony before they remove the clay from the ground, then they grind the clay and mix it with water. They polish the finished piece and paint it with homemade dyes and a Yucca paintbrush. The process is long and their pottery is a major source of income.
Modernly, they have a Tribal Fair and Rodeo every August.

What clothes did the ZUNI tribe wear?
Originally, Zuni men didn't wear much clothing-- only breechcloths or short kilts. Zuni women wore knee-length cotton dresses called mantas. A manta fastened at a woman's right shoulder, leaving her left shoulder bare. Missionaries didn't think this dress style was modest enough, so in the 1900's many Zuni women started wearing shifts underneath their mantas. This style is still in use today. Men and women both wore deerskin moccasins on their feet. For dances and special occasions, women painted their moccasins white and wrapped white strips of deerskin called puttee around their shins as leggings. Here is a site with photographs of Pueblo clothing styles, and some photos and links about Indian clothing in general. The Zunis did not traditionally wear war bonnets like the Sioux. Zuni men usually wore cloth headbands tied around their foreheads instead. For special ceremonies, Zuni dancers sometimes wore painted masks or crowns of feathers. Both men and women often wore their hair gathered into a figure-eight shaped bun called a chongo, but some Zuni men preferred to cut their hair to shoulder length and some Zuni women wore their hair long and loose. Except for certain religious ceremonies, the Zunis didn't paint their faces or bodies. But they are famous for their beautiful silver and turquoise ornaments, especially their elaborate necklaces. Today, many Zuni people still wear moccasins or mantas, but they wear modern clothes like jeans instead of breechcloths... and they only wear puttee or kilts on special occasions like a dance.
