The Zia symbol, also known as the Zia Sun Symbol, is a prominent and culturally significant emblem representing the Zia Pueblo, a Native American tribe located in New Mexico, USA. This symbol consists of a red circle with four groups of four rays extending from the circle, creating a sun-like appearance. Each group of rays is arranged symmetrically, with two rays pointing upward and two rays pointing downward.The Zia symbol holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for the Zia Pueblo people. It represents various sacred concepts, including the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west), the four seasons, the four stages of life, and the four sacred obligations: love, respect, faith, and purity. The number four is considered sacred in Zia cosmology, and it is reflected in the symbol's design.Due to its cultural importance, the Zia symbol has been adopted as the official symbol of the state of New Mexico. It can be found on the state flag, the state seal, and various official documents and insignia, serving as a reminder of the state's rich Native American heritage and the principles of harmony and balance that the Zia people hold dear.
