Organized by the AAMHC and in collaboration with several Zuni programs the A:shiwi Doye:nakwe is an outgrowth of the Pathways to Zuni Wisdom program. Zuni culture is deeply based in farming and the AAMHC believes Zuni farming knowledge is integral to the long-term sustainability of Zuni culture and economy and should be celebrated. Farming and gardening is also a very healthy activity that produces clean nutritious food.


The past two A:shiwi Doye:nakwe events included a small tractor parade and farming related fun activities at the Middle School Football Field.


Activities of the annual event include:
Cooking demonstrations
Farming and gardening demonstrations
Crop showcase
Hoop toss
Scarecrow contest
Watermelon eating contest
Chili eating contest
Dance groups
Gunnysack races
Zuni bingo
Fruit scramble
