Teach others about Zuni Waffle gardening. According to our survey results, not many people are aware, or taught a lot about traditional waffle gardens. Our goal is to help our coomunity/people through this website and teach those who are willing to learn about waffle gardens. 

It is part of who we are. Gardening is part of our ancestry and part of who we are as Zunis. Back then, our ancestors grew their own food. They improvised and learned to use the natural resources around them. They knew/learned how to get things on their own.  

To ensure that the younger generation(s) will keep passing this knowledge down. We hope that many of our younger generations will get encouraged to learn about their culture, as it's the last thing we want to lose. Every generation after the elders will be the ones to keep the oral knowledge alive and passed down. Point is, we count on the people older than us to teach us about these things and they are the ones who encourage us. We want our youth to do the same to the people below them and not get too caught up in the 'melik'ya world'.

Keep the tradition of waffle gardening alive. With the improvement and evolution of technology, we felt that creating a website could help us reach a larger audience. As our elders have said "the younger people know how to work phones better than we do." We hope that everyone who comes across this website finds it helpful and learns something new, if you didn't already.
