The Zuni Indian Reservation is the homeland of the Zuni tribe of Native Americans. It lies in the Zuni River valley and is located primarily in Cibola and McKinley counties in western New Mexico, about 160 miles west of Albuquerque. There are also several smaller non-contiguous sections in Apache County, Arizona, northwest of the city of St. Johns. The main part of the reservation borders the state of Arizona to the west and the Ramah Navajo Indian Reservation to the east. The main reservation is also surrounded by the Painted Cliffs, the Zuni Mountains and the Cibola National Forest.
The reservation's total land area is 723 sq mi. The population was reported at 7,758 inhabitants in the 2000 census.
The Zuni Tribe also has land holdings in Catron County, New Mexico and Apache County,
Arizona, which do not border the main reservation. Also on the main reservation are the
Hawikuh Ruins. The ancient Zuni pueblo of Hawikuh was the largest of the Seven Cities of
Cibola. It was established in the 1200s and abandoned in 1680. It was also the first pueblo seen by the Spanish explorers. The African scout Estevanico was the first non-Native to reach this area.
The largest town on the reservation is Zuni Pueblo, which is seat of Tribal government. Also on the reservation are the towns of Black Rock and Pescado. There is a branch campus of the
University of New Mexico located in Zuni.
In 1993 Zuni issued a plastic coated license required to hunt and fish on the Reservation. Although it was called a “Habitat Stamp,” there was no way to attach it to a permit. These are not really stamps, but can be considered forerunners. The first stamp was issued in 1995 on peel and stick Mactac Starliner paper.
