Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection review visit Apr. 6-7, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 1”): The current record states "Written in ink on the bse, "aho Kin Klan, Weed Clan." This weed is the first to come up in the spring. This weed is like a mustard. The plan is valued very highly by all Zuni." There is a clan called the Mustard clan. Their name in Zuni is Ayaho:Kwe. However, the jar wouldn't have been used by them for ceremonial purposes.
