Reading Zuni Folktales | Alexandria
Read Zuni Folktales by Frank Hamilton Cushing. Revealing ancient Zuni wisdom through a white man's eyes, this pioneering 1901 ethnography captures tales where coyotes outsmart gods, corn maidens dance worlds into being, and war chiefs transform into butterflies. Beyond mere myths, these stories expose how power flows not from strength, but from wit, patience, and harmony with nature's rhythms.
