Kolhuwalawa

Arizona's 23rd Indian reservation was created in 1985 to give the Zuni tribe back their "heaven." The 1,400 acres, located 14 miles north of St. Johns, is though by the Zuni to be the place where the human spirit goes after death.

Anthropologists think that Zuni religious leaders have held sacred dances and ceremonies here since at least AD 900, when ancestors of the tribe began migrating from pueblos in Arizona to New Mexico.

The Zuni people, like the Hopi, still live in pueblos and maintain many of their old traditions.
