Zuni fetishes are hand-carved objects, which represent the spirits of animals or the forces of nature. The earliest fetishes are called Ahlashiwe or stone ancients by the Zunis. They were naturally formed stones that seemed to resemble people or animals, sometimes made more realistic with the features accentuated by a carver. Zunis believe that animals, as well as inanimate objects and the forces of nature, have a spirit force. It is believed that the carved animal fetishes host that spiritual force and, if treated properly, will help their owners to overcome tthe problems facing them.

The Buffalo represents strength and fortitude. The proud Buffalo, unlike many other members of the animal world, never turns its back to wind, snow and rain - it will face the elements face forward the proud buffalo never turns its back and always faces trouble head on.
