Pueblo of Zuni
Inscription
The six original Zuñi pueblos were the legendary “Seven Cities of Cibola” sought by Vasquez de Coronado in 1540. They were abandoned during the Pueblo Revolt, and the present pueblo was settled in 1699 after the Spanish reconquest. In 1970, Zuñi became the first Indian community to administer its own reservation affairs.
