This scientific publication delves into the rich spiritual and cultural practices of the Zuñi people, specifically from the perspective of their children. It explores various rituals and beliefs that define the religious upbringing of Zuñi children, showcasing the interplay between mythology and daily life. The book provides an in-depth examination of the myths, customs, and ceremonies integral to the religious life of a Zuñi child, starting from birth and continuing through initiation into sacred orders. Stevenson describes the family's ceremonial practices related to childbearing, the rituals surrounding the birth of a child, and the various ways children are prepared for adulthood, particularly focusing on their involuntary and voluntary initiation into the Kōk-kō order. The text captures the essence of Zuñi spirituality, illustrating how children are immersed in their cultural heritage from a very young age, as they participate in a blend of mythological narratives, community rituals, and the worship of their deities, notably the Sun.
