The Religious Life of the Zuñi Child

"The Religious Life of the Zuñi Child" is a book dedicated to the religious customs as introduced to the children of the Zuni. The Zuni are a Native American Pueblo and Federally recognized tribe and most live in the Pueblo of Zuni on the Zuni River, a tributary of the Little Colorado River, in western New Mexico, United States. Their religious customs consist of thirteen secret orders in Zuñi, in many of which women and children are conspicuous, besides the purely mythological order of the Kōk-kō. All boys are initiated into this order, while but few girls enter it and those who do are forbidden to marry.
