The Zia symbol of Zia Pueblo is featured prominently on New Mexico's state quarter. The symbol appears over a map of the state. Gov. Gov. Bill Richardson (D) and U.S. Mint Director Edmund Moy unveiled the design yesterday, which is the first state quarter to feature a Native symbol. The Zia is often associated with the sun but to the tribe it represents the four seasons, the four directions and other groupings of four. Get the Story:
