Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection review visit February 16 and 17, 2011 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 6”): The Zuni word for this type of sash (white rain sash) is moli-mup-e-kwe-na. The Zuni name for the feathered water serpent is Kolowisi. Since this sash has not been used in ceremony, has no special access, publication, storage, or handling instructions.
