The text provides a deeper understanding of the Zuñi cosmology, exploring their historical interactions with European settlers and the continuity of their ancestral traditions. The opening of the work sets a foundation for understanding the Zuñi's sociocultural landscape by discussing their archaic traits and the lasting influence of Spanish colonization.
