Where
did you get the name Zia?
Zia is a name used in
several cultures. Zia means aunt in Italian, is a
common name in Pakistan, and is the name of an Indian
Pueblo located 35 miles northwest of Albuquerque,
NM.
The Zia pueblo
in NM is situated in the steep mountains slopes and canyons of the
Sierra Nacimiento Mountains. The gently sloping flood plain of the
Jemez River, and the large Pajarito and Jemez Plateaus establish the
setting for the Zia Indian Reservation.
The striking scenery creates exquisite cinematography. The films Dead
or Alive, Desperado II, Earth 2 and New Eden were produced in part
or entirely on the Zia Reservation.

Where's Zia
That
logo looks familiar. Where's it from?
While
our company logo resembles the Zia Sun symbol,
we use only three points as four is a sacred
number for Zia. The real Zia logo is used by
the state of New Mexico on both the flag and
license plates.
The symbol originated with the Indians of Zia Pueblo in ancient times. It's design reflects their tribal philosophy, with its wealth of pantheistic spiritualism teaching the basic harmony of all things in the universe.
The flag of New Mexico was designed with their historical background in mind. It shows the ancient Zia Sun Symbol in red on a field of Spanish yellow. The symbol's proportions are fixed by legislative act.
