Jim Enote, a traditional Zuni farmer and director of the A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center, is working with Zuni artists to create maps that bring an indigenous voice and perspective back to the land, countering Western notions of place and geography and challenging the arbitrary borders imposed on the Zuni world.

Archeology suggests that the A:shiwi (Zuni) have been farming in the Zuni River valley of western New Mexico since at least A.D. 700. After their lands were colonized by the Spanish in the sixteenth century and later claimed by the United States, indigenous peoples of the Colorado Plateau were left in a deeply familiar territory of unfamiliar names. Google Maps shows Jim’s farm bordering Indian Service Route 2, but that’s not how he sees his land. “To assume that people would look at the earth only from a vantage point that is above and looking straight down doesn’t consider the humanity of living on the landscape.” The Zuni maps, says Jim, contain something very important: a different way of looking and knowing.
Zuni maps draw deeply on shared experiences of place. They depict petroglyph carvings, images from prayers and songs, colorful stacks of pottery, arroyos and mesas. They are an opportunity for the Zuni to reclaim a deep understanding of a shared cultural tradition, rooted in ancestral lands, told again in a familiar language. These maps are critical to constructing a bridge between the traditional and modern worlds, connecting the old ways with the new.

Thank you Jim Enote for helping to keep our Zuni culture alive with these unique maps. Elahkwa
To walk where his ancestors walked as if to mimic their journey(drinking from the same water) is remarkable. The Zuni Map Project seemed so eye catching to tell history through story! There is so much History to learn on every bend that my mind can't process all these information.

Thank you, I will take the comlimate. I being Zuni Peublo I really appreciate that😌🙏
Wow! So much history. I hope that no one will take that away from you! Knowing your history, connects, edjucates and makes people understand about their heritage.
They're blessed to have such a rich history and landscape. This is awe inspiring.
Map is an art and the way I see maps has changed. Great one 👌
"More lands have been lost to native peoples probably through mapping than through physical conflict." As a cartographer this really got the gears turning.

They say that whenever you see a straight line on a map, the natives probably didn't draw it.
That triskelion symbol on the wall, that's interesting that it was used there too. Lovely documentary!
I feel much more affinity to this world perspective than that of the surrounding culture... Great good luck in the making of these maps!

This is the type of comment that should be highlighted, not the controversial divisive ones to start a yelling match. This kind that starts a conversation in the right direction.
As a geographer and one who supports the use of GIS at tribal colleges and schools, I love this and thank you for it.
Nice. In Hoopa, during the physical address project at our Forestry Department, I was getting worried when they named the streets and it was wrong, it didn't match the place. I told them, they don't listen. Some of the streets were even named after non-Indians who lived there long ago, the elders were upset, it is a mess (I think). We need this project. Interesting.
absolutely beautiful piece
I want to walk with Jim and learn the old ways.
Excellent documentary film 👍
Such a powerful video
Zuni.. Clan signs !! This is incredible.. That same signature is in the Grandcanyon! What a beatiful valley !! What do spirels mean for the Zuni.. I wonder??
Outstanding 👍🏼
When people in many great continents like North & South America is not only wlll help us learn the possible events but also may get us thinking & some questions like When?, Why?, & How?. I've tried! This letter's editors: Written by Marc Brown Publish by Tj Brown

Hey!😊
Beautiful land. I think non indigenoud people have taken a living knowledge and put it only on 2D context. No way knowledge and memory are like that.
We Natives know our land... It’s in our DNA...
I’m adopted and was neglected this part of my life, it would be amazing to rekindle with my people. I believe the Hopi prophecy and I are 1

“Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth? Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also." - 2 Nephi 29:7-8, Book of Mormon

@@indigenoussouthwest6834 Of coarse! We took your knowledge of agriculture, wait, we've been farming for 1000s of years before we got to America! If it wasn't for us you would still be throwing sticks & arrows at food and living a migratory life, never understanding the concept of land ownership! Then some other country would have conquered you anyway. That's how stupid your forefathers were! Hey! Let's help these complete aliens through this harsh 1st winter. Then they will revere us and live peacefully! So stupid that we decimated your people with a couple of very warm wool blankets, infested with smallpox. That's the way it went down!
