Outlines of Zuni Creation Myths is a book written by Frank H. Cushing that provides a comprehensive overview of the creation myths of the Zuni people. The book delves into the Zuni cosmology, which is centered around the idea of a dualistic universe, where the earth and the sky are seen as two separate entities that are constantly interacting with each other. Cushing explores the different Zuni creation myths, including the story of the emergence of the Zuni people from the underworld, the creation of the sun and moon, and the origin of the animals and plants. The author also provides insights into the Zuni worldview, their religious practices, and their relationship with the natural world.The book is based on Cushing's extensive fieldwork among the Zuni people during the late 19th century, and it offers a unique perspective on the Zuni culture and traditions. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American mythology, anthropology, or cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
