The Zuni Indians are a very complex and interesting indigenous people. The Zuni tribe’s history began before 2500 B.C. along the Zuni River in the northwestern corner of New Mexico (Zuni Indians, 2016).

the government would have to ask the states. The Articles of Confederation developed rules for dealing with one of the most persistent problems facing the New Nation, which was Ohio.
