We would like to stay on a native american reservation but cannot find any information in Australia?

Answer 1

There is the Hard Rock Hotel in Seminole Florida, where recently Anna Nicole was found. That was on an Indian Reservation.

Answer 2

If you want to tour Native American reservations and see their culture, this really isn't the best time of year to do that. Most tribes perform public ceremonies at the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. That typically occurs in late September and October. The best place to go to see REAL ceremonies is the southwest. Most tribes elsewhere practice a hodgepodge of European and Native American traditions.

If you are looking for good accomodations stay in Flagstaff, AZ. It's centrally located to a lot of reservations that are within reasonable driving distance. It's near some of the more popular Native American reservations; Hopi, Zuni, Navajo, and Pueblo.

There are some things you should know before visiting the Hopi and Pueblo. The Hopi do NOT allow non-Hopis to visit their villages unless you are invited; this is done to preserve their cultural heritage. They do have an area designated as a tourist attraction where you can see their lifestyle though. Also, traditional Hopis do not allow their photograph to be taken. The Jemez Pueblo north of Sante Fe, New Mexico, is another tribe which is trying to preserve their cultural heritage by restricting visitors to their reservation. They have designated times when visitors are allowed to watch public ceremonies. You should inquire with each tribe regarding local practices and best times to visit.

There are many other smaller reservations nearby. Unfortunately, their population tend to be so small; less than 1,000; that much of their language and culture has disappeared.

Answer 3

Im sorry, but why would u want to stay on a reservation?? Well, there are over 300 in the U.S. They are scattered all over the midwest and western states, even Alaska. I would probably choose a place like Colorado, Arizona or South Dakota. You will probably get the "feel" you're hoping for. However, let me tell you, these places over time have become very run down. They are not like visiting the Alamo or Grand Canyon, even though they are historical, they are not places of joy because natives were FORCED to live there against their will.

Answer 4

No Native-American reservation in San Francisco.

The closest thing to what you are looking for may be the Hopi cultural center which is in the heart of the Hopi lands in northeastern Arizona.

Native American food is served in the restaurant.

There are several very interesting Native American towns in north central New Mexico. These are known as Pueblos. The most interesting are Taos (just north of the quaint town of the same name), Laguna with a fine small adobe church with native folk art decorations(west of Albuquerque) and my favorite by far, Acoma. It sits at the top of a mesa and has been continually occupied for more than 700 years. The city of Santa Fe is a good place to be based for your explorations. The area has its own styles of architecture that set it apart. It is relatively small (less than 70,000), but one of the most interesting cities in the US.

Buying pottery and other crafts directly from the makers in theie homes is more interesting and cheaper than buying from the shops in Santa Fe. A pot that sells for $200 dollars in San Francisco, will be more like $100 in Santa Fe and $50 in the pueblos. I found native crafts people by going to pueblos and asking around. Books on the subject are easy to find in places like Taos and Santa Fe.

In addition to the living pueblos, there are also ruins of previous civilizations in the area. Chaco Canyon is especially noteworthy, located in the northwest of the state.

You may wish to search for guide books to New Mexico and Arizona. Remember that northern Arizona is also home to the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley, http://search.pbase.com/search?q=monument+valley&b=Search+Photos&c=sp

Answer 5

The problem with the statement is that you assume that you are welcomed on the reservation.

I guarantee you, in most instances, you are NOT!

Go to the Gathering of Nations Powwow and stare till your hearts content..

Answer 6

Answer 7

You want to what? Look, if you want my advice just take the canoe ride at DisneyLand and call it a day.

Answer 8

Some of the locations are hotel/casinos and I'm sure they would welcome visitors. Bring money.

I don't think reservations have provisions for tourists.
