The Zuni Olla Maidens are all part of the same family, passing the pots from one generation to the next. They perform while balancing pots, called olla, on their heads. The dance honors their female ancestors, who used similar vessels to carry water.

A few more photos from last week in Zuni Pueblo. Shaun took me to Badger Springs to get photos of some of the petroglyphs. There's a rock tower on the way to the petroglyph site.

When your grandparents feed you weird foods...
Kenny Bowekaty is one of the tour guides in Zuni. He and Shaun Latone are the most likely if you are doing archaeology or history tours.

Zuni Pueblo tours are unique. They have the short spiel for people who stop by as they are driving through, BUT they also have 1/2 day, full day & 2-day tours to all sorts of archaeological sites, often involving #hiking. Kenny and Shaun are outstanding guides.

The members, all women, dance with fragile water jars, or ollas, balanced on the top of their heads. All of the women in this group are part of the same family.
