  • The Zuni Indians

    955 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Zuni Indians were and are a group of Indians in the southwest area of the United States and Northern Mexico. It seems that they have lived in this area for nearly 4000 years, and maybe more if their ancestry can be traced as they seem to believe to the Mogollon group of Native Americans who grew out of the first prehistoric inhabitants of that area of America. The name Mogollon comes from the Mogollon mountain range named by the first Spanish explorers in the early 1500’s such as Coronado. There is also a good possibility that they may be able to trace their existence to the Anasazi culture from around the same time as the Mogollon peoples as well.

    According to tribal legend, “when the life force of the universe first called into earth, the ancient forebears of the Quapaw people were adrift in the froth of the sea. In time, they say, the breath of the sky set them ashore on the glistening coast.” Tradition, as well as historical and archeological evidence says that these tribes of people were wandering the Ohio Valley well before the 15th century. The Quapaw Tribe of Indians, also known as the O-Gah-Pah, or several other translations of the word which in general terms means “downstream people” or the “ones from downstream”, along with their Dhegiha Sioux kinsmen (the Osage, Ponca, Kansa, and Omaha) attained a cultural level of excellence that was only surpassed by the tribes in central Mexico and Peru. The Quapaw Tribe of Indians, history, culture, values, strength, and perseverance have allowed them to stay united as a tribe and sets them apart from other Indian tribes, although they deserve a better fate (Baird “The Quapaw People” 2).

    Transcendentalism were strong believers in the power of the individualism and self-exploration, which were closely related to the Romanticism, the artistic and intellectual movement that originated in Europe that revolted against the political and social “norms” of the Age of Enlightenment. This helped fuel the Early Women’s Rights Movement by questioning how society hides women and bringing up new thought on how women should start to be treated equally. Before the ‘civilization’ in the New World, the Zuni Tribe located in the Southwest, idolized women. When looking back at their family tress, the women are mentioned. Women in this tribe also go to pick whom they marry, and the husband had to move in with the wife’s family so her father, brothers, uncles, and cousins could protect her. The women also owned the property because if there were conflict between her and her spouse, she would not be left in the dark with nothing. The Zuni were not the only tribe who put women first. The Sioux Tribe raised their children equally. Both girls and boys went to school and trained together to h...
