The A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center is located in Zuni, New Mexico, United States. Jim Enote is the museum's executive director.[2]
The Zuni tribe began planning the museum in the 1960s and 1970s. After struggling with funding, the museum became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in 1992 and started out with one room of exhibits of Zuni life ways. Its current building was once a trading post,[2] called the Hebadina Building.[1]
A permanent exhibit, "The Hawikku: 'Echoes From Our Past'" educates visitors about creation, migrations, and the last 500 years of Zuni history.[1] Photographs from the 19th century up to the 21st century illustrate Zuni life. On the grounds are traditional Zuni waffle gardens created through a partnership of the museum and the Zuni Farmers Co-operative.[3]
The museum cohosts the Zuni Festival of Arts and Culture every May with the Museum of Northern Arizona.[4]
