Biographical Notes
In 1964, Curtis Cook worked with the Zuni Pueblo as a member of Wycliffe Bible
Translators, an international organization that translates the Bible into local
languages. Cook was given the Zuni name, "Chummali," or locust, because he actively
conversed with everyone in the village. A year after he arrived, the written
alphabet for the Zuni language was developed and a few small pamphlets and literacy
manuals were published to assist the Zuni in creating a written record in their own
language.
Scope and Content
Collection of field recordings, photographs, and notes by linguist Curtis Cook, who
learned the Zuni language and documented the stories of elderly Zuni speakers while
undertaking a translation of the Bible into the Zuni language during the 1960s and
1970s. Sound recordings (1964-1967) include narratives told by Zuni storytellers
Longkeena Nash and Tom Ideque and others; recordings of children reading high school
reports in English; and Curtis Cook reciting the gospel acccording to St. Mark, and
other recordings. Photographs (1964-1972) include pictures of some of the Zuni
speakers and storytellers who aided Cook in learning the Zuni language; landscapes
at and near Zuni; adobe brick making and daily occupations at Zuni; photographs
documenting the Zuni entry of dancers and musicians at the Gallup Intertribal
Ceremonial in 1965; Zuni children; Zuni artwork, including jewelry and pottery.
Manuscripts include Zuni stories and translation exercises in Zuni, and some
interlineal translations in English of Zuni recordings from the Doris Duke
collection. Cook submitted notes describing his photographs and his work at Zuni in
2004. On February 14, 2005, Curtis Cook met with staff of the American Folklife
Center to discuss this collection and his work in Zuni, an audio recording of this
meeting is included in the collection.

The first old man I met at Zuni (name

September, 1963
35 mm color slide
AFC 2004/010: 1
This was on my first visit to Zuni on the way back from my last year of
training in linguistics at the University of Oklahoma. Upon arriving at
Zuni, I began to walk around the village, and came across this old man.
The old man's daughter stepped out of her house when I stopped to visit
with him. She spoke English, so I asked her how to tell the old man
"Hello." Then I asked her to ask him to let me take his picture. He
consented, so I took the picture, then asked his daughter how to say
"thank you" in Zuni. I took the picture, and said, "Elahkwa." I was
speaking Zuni.

Rex was a literalist, when it came to teaching me to speak Zuni. I asked
him how I would tell someone, "I'm glad (that) you came," after they had
visited me. His response in Zuni was two separate declarative
statements: "I'm glad" and "You came". Neither statement had anything to
do with the other. Rex passed away in 1965. I was at his bedside, when
he died.

Almost all of my early language learning was in visits such as this with
old men. Consequently, I learned an older dialect of Zuni; so much so
that a high schooler in the literacy class I taught in summer school
commented: "Cook, he talks like an old man."

AFC 2004/010: 11
In a session with Owaleon Nash, I was trying to find an equivalent term
for the Biblical concept of "repentance." I told him in Zuni that
"repentance" was what you do when you are walking one direction on your
road of life (an appropriate metaphor in Zuni for one's personal
conduct), and you decide that you're not walking the right way; so you
"change your road" (i.e., "you change your behavior"). After giving the
idea some thought, he said "How can I change my road? I'm a Zuni."

Lorenzo was always sharp, and had an exceptional memory. His input into
the translation work was extremely reliable, and he was so highly
respected among the people that it was very much to my advantage to have
used him as my primary language helper.

In my study, I maintained a very rigorous schedule, working 9-10 hours
a day, doing something in which I took great delight; but I also sought
to balance desk work with visiting in the village, affording me
opportunities to hear and to speak the language in different
contexts.

At my desk – the translation was checked periodically by an experienced
translation consultant from the Summer Institute of Linguistics. The
checking sessions were conducted with a native speaker present, and the
consultants concluded that the Zuni translation was of highest quality,
in terms of both its faithfulness to the original text and accuracy,
communicating the right concepts to native speakers.

I spent a only a short time in my translation work with Peter Neha,
father of fourteen children. He was kept busy with his livelihood:
making adobe bricks (see slides 141-149). (NOTE) Unfortunately, I do
not have photographs of several others who helped me with the
translation from time to time. Among them, Rex Chimoni, who was native
pastor at the Christian Reformed Mission after the passing of Rex
Natewa. Mr. Chimoni became a very good friend, and was an excellent
language helper. Other helpers were: Arthur and Floyd Owaleon, and
Lincoln Harker, Spencer Nashboo, and John Cheama.

Ultimately, the plant closed, as many of the Zuni employees found that
they could make a better living staying at home and doing their work
with silver and turquoise. Note: The silver and turquoise craftsmanship
of the Zunis is exquisite, and is the primary source of income for most
Zuni households. Their pottery work, too, is considered to be among the
finest made. For this reason, I have taken the liberty to include some
commercially produced slides that illustrate their work (see slide #'s
181-196). These may, or may not, be usable for purposes of the
collection.
