Abstract
In a university course on the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico, students engaged in a scaffolded inquiry project to consider connections between individual major areas of study or intended career paths and the Zuni Pueblo. Students completed project tasks prior to, during, and after the trip, and analyzed information gathered to answer their inquiry questions. Topics of interest were shared with the Zuni Tribal Council and a Zuni community partner for discussion and input. After completion, projects were shared with the class, the Tribal Council, a Zuni community partner, and the university community. This paper will (1) explain the organization, pedagogy, and processes of implementation of such a scholarly project in an undergraduate service-learning, study-away, spring-break course and trip and (2) share project outcomes, including student discoveries, in brief, to contribute to the extant, sparse literature on the Zuni Pueblo, especially in the current day and especially as relates to a variety of fields.
