                                  The Zuni Native American Tribe


                                                        __________Food___________

     The Zuni Native American Tribe ate close to what we eat today. The Zuni Native Americans ate a lot of vegetables. They were mostly vegetarians but ate a lot of meat when it was available. When meat was not available, they stuck to 3 vegetables. Those were corn, beans, and squash. When meat was available they mostly had deer and antelope. Since the desert area in New Mexico was so hot, that made it complicated for the Zuni Indians

                                                        _________Climate__________

     The area around the Zuni Indians was like any old desert!! In the winter it was mostly high 52 and lowest 12. In the summer the high was usually 80 and the lowest was 40. The weather helped them build there houses!! The Adobe clay that they used to build there Pueblo's dries easier in the sun. It also affected how they ate!! Many animals could not survive in the hot weather, so they usually ate vegetables. They had to grow vegetables though, and any kind of plant is not good with hot weather!! The Climate was good and bad for the Zuni Indians.
