I live in the high desert country, where Navajo, Pueblo, Zuni, and Apache meet. I've always been fascinated with the Zuni tribal fetishes, each meaning not only something about your attitude to the spirit world, but offering healing and spiritual health. If you're interested, here are a couple of links:

Of course, I must admit - many of the Zuni live on their art ;)
