Indigenous experiences - United States

Across the world pockets of indigenous people have managed to keep their way of life almost completely intact over many centuries, and some allow visitors to experience these ancient and fascinating cultures first hand. Whether it's Shamanism workshops in Peru or Aboriginal art, there's always something new the locals can teach you...

United States
There are various Native American attractions throughout the states, some more tacky than others. Oklahoma is the best state for the real deal. Indian City USA (www.indiancityusa.com) has recreated tribal huts and tepees, and also hosts dance performances from a variety of indigenous groups.

Meanwhile the Cherokee Heritage Center in Tahlequah conducts tours that involve tuition in using blow guns amongst other traditional skills. Alternatively there is Window Rock in Arizona. The home of the Navajo, the Annual Navajo Nation Fair in September has Indian rodeos and major powwows.
