ZUNI, NM — Last month, eight young adults from Zuni Pueblo had the opportunity to connect with Zuni culture, history and sacred sites at Grand Canyon National Park, Walnut Canyon National Monument and Wuptaki National Monument with the Zuni Youth Enrichment Project. The young people, ages 16 to 24, traveled to Arizona on Tuesday, March 18 and returned to Zuni on Friday, March 21.
ZYEP Youth Development Coordinator Kiara “Kiki” Zunie, Built Environment Leader Enric Tsalate and Operations Manager Josh Kudrna led this unique spring break trip, which was made possible through the nonprofit organization’s ongoing relationship with Grand Canyon National Park. Tsalate, who previously served as ZYEP’s built environment coordinator and recently returned to the youth project, also served as the team’s cultural knowledge sharer.
