HEADED HOME: THANK YOU ZUNI

Helen Adams ‘26, Avianna Frolick ‘26, Luke Hoffman ‘26, and Amber Mortiz ‘26
Thanksgiving for a great week on Zuni and our wonderful guides and instructors! 
Throughout this trip we have felt welcomed by the Zuni tribe and tribe members. They welcomed us in with open arms and kept us feed and cared for each day. We had the opportunity to hear some beautiful stories from their elders and people about their culture and history. We had the privilege to learn about there political system and the challenges they face from the women on the council and to hear from the Lt Governor. We are so grateful to the staff at the head start school and the senior center staff for welcoming us in to help and learn more about the different parts of Zuni culture. 
 
A special thanks to our host Shannon for allowing us to stay with her and for helping coordinate our immersion trip! It was truly amazing to see how her and her work contributed to the community. Another thanks to friends of Shannon, Joey, Terrance, and Bern, who played an important role in guiding us around Zuni and helping us get the most out of this experience. 
 
Finally we would like to thank our amazing instructors from Deer Hill Expeditions. They truly contributed to a great experience of the whole immersion trip. Through their calmness and leadership they made our expedition feel like smooth sailing. 
 
Thanks again for all those who made this trip happen. We can’t wait to see our parents back in Denver!!
