Sun Journey A Story of Zuni Pueblo
Ann Nolan Clark's sensitive text and Zuni artist Percy Tsisete Sandy's authentic illustrations follow the daily life of a ten-year-old Zuni Indian boy, Ze-do, and his Grandfather Hotima, Sun Priest of Zuni Pueblo. Ze-do has returned from three years at a government boarding school, and he must learn and relearn the ways of his people. In the 21 chapters, the boy--and the reader-learns from his grandfather the important lessons of Zuni life through the seasons--from prayer sticks, planting, and games to dancing, rituals, and Shalako.
