Zuni is the most isolated of all the Pueblos, and seems to have been throughout history as the Zuni language bears no resemblance to any other known language on Earth. The Zuni are true artists at heart, and make elaborately decorated fine pottery, although they are more famous today for their wide variety of fetish carvings. These have been used for centuries by the Zuni, Navajo and other Native Americans as talismans for protection, healing and prosperity. Today these carvings are widely collected as art works all over the world.
