Organized by the AAMHC 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 are also very healthy activities that produce clean, nutritious food.
Activities of the annual event include:
