Zuni Sha'lak'o Ban on Non Indians for Dance Week
The Zuni Tribe considers a ban on non Indians observing the Sha'lak'o week and kachina dances amid tensions with religious leaders. Some non Indians may be allowed this year to see dances or share food, but officials give conflicting answers. Officials including Lt. Gov Othole and Gov Eriacho's secretary declined to confirm the status. Community leaders note long-standing hard times and the district's new superintendent says he was briefed during orientation. See Zunis, page 2.
