Wisdom in the Circle of Creation.

Tribal people called 'The Place of the Yellow Rock Water' home over 10,000 years before the Pilgrims anchored at Cape Cod. Since Yellowstone lands became the first national park in the world, the absence of a tribal presence in Yellowstone has been explained by the myth that Indians feared this vast, pine-robed plateau that is punctuated by thermal wonders from lakeshore to river course.

Supposedly, the geysers engendered such apprehension among tribal people that they would do all they could to avoid this bountiful landscape. But this was, like so much in the reinvention of The West, false.

​

Join us for a side of Yellowstone that few visitors experience. Despite over 1700 documented Native sites and sacred areas in Yellowstone, the vast majority of visitors leave none the wiser about Native cultures. 

​

Witness and understand the Native spirit of Yellowstone

You have to experience POWWOW!

And the Gathering of Nations powwow in Albuquerque, NM is the one you should add to your bucket list.

The Gathering of Nations Trail leads us deep into Native America to appreciate the diverse cultures and landscapes of Southwestern tribal nations, including the Navajo (Dineh), the Pueblo peoples and their ancestors - the Anasazi/Ancient Puebloans.

Experience the transition, yet continuation, of Indian art from ancient petroglyphs to contemporary Native Art Galleries, and become a fleeting part of that circle that is living history as we weave through the awe inspiring beauty of the native nations on this Southwestern odyssey.

​

Feel the magic of New Mexico and Arizona, visiting Pueblo villages, the Navajo and Hopi peoples and experience for yourself the cultural and spiritual aspects that ordinary tourists miss out on.

One of our best-loved, and our longest running Native American tour! 

Now in its 24th year, this  journey  takes you to some of the most sacred and cultural important places on the plains in the Lakota world.  

Paha Sapa - the sacred Black Hills, Mako Sica - the Badlands, Mato Tipila, the Bear's Lodge (Devil's Tower) and of course to Wounded Knee on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. 

​

Everything you have ever heard, read or imagined about the history and lifeways of the Plains Indian Nations beckons as you enter the world of the Lakota, people of the Buffalo Nation.

It is through song and dance and storytelling that the culture has survived and though detractors may call indigenous stories ‘myths and legends’, to do so is dismissive of history, culture and values, lived and passed down by the People.
