They first met with white people when the Spaniard met these people in 1540. Zuni (who called it Assiwi) lived in six different villages. The lives of these agricultural people are developing around their religious beliefs. They have a cycle of religious ceremonies that override everything else. Their religious beliefs are concentrated in the three most powerful gods of Mother Earth, Sun Father, and Moonlight.
