Stop at the Zuni Mission Church, first begun in the 17 th century. By special arrangement, meet with Zuni mural artist Alex Seoteywa, who is in the process of creating the full Kachina cycle on the walls of the Zuni Pueblo Catholic Church. Alex and his sons have been working on this project for almost thirty years, and the fascinating evolution of their style can be seen as we compare the early works to the complexity of their style today. Alex will talk about his dreams for completing this series and the symbolism of each of the figures represented. Return to Albuquerque for the night.
