Fetishes
The Zuni Indians of western New Mexico believe that a true fetish is a representation of the animal it is thought to resemble. For example, if a stone or part of the landscape resembles a bear, then the spirit of that animal is captured and resides in that object. It is thought that a person can gain access to the powers of the animal by properly feeding and caring for the fetish, giving it cornmeal and water, and offering it gifts of turquoise and coral (the bundles often tied to a carved animal fetish).
