Zuni and Hullabaloo and Hopi, Oh my!!

Hello again!
It's hard to believe but Zuni Festival 2013 has already come and gone! We had a busy weekend but it was full of opportunities to learn more about the Zuni culture. We would like to extend a thank you to all of our artists for coming out to make our festival happen, and another big thanks to everyone who volunteered- we couldn't have done it without you!

     We also worked at Flagstaff Hullabaloo, showing people about our mountain lion exhibit and making paper flowers with the kids. We had a lot of fun demonstrating how far a mountain lion can jump, what they can see compared to humans, and even what scat on the Colorado Plateau looks like.
Now we are gearing up for our next festival, Hopi, over Fourth of July weekend. So far we have made a trip up to the Hopi reservation and will return on June 17th and 18th for our collecting trip! We hope to see you at the festival!

Interns, out. :)
