ABSTRACT
My interest in the study of Zuñi was twofold: to get a cultural perspective by acquainting myself with a different culture, and to learn the field technique of American anthropology. In other words, I would rather take the study of Zuñi as an illustration of larger issues involved than as a limited piece of ethnography. Thus in the present paper if I raise many questions, my effort is to be taken as trying to seek light and not as trying to make criticisms. In fact, my choosing Zuñí particularly was because of its rich literature by outstanding authorities.
