Is there a school where I can learn to practice Native American culture?

Answer 1

Start with tracking. Since so many tribes depended on their hunters for the bulk of their existence, mastering the skills and sensibility required to patiently track an animal is learning a part of the native lifestyle.

The first site is west coast, the 2nd east coast. Not sure what's available in between.

Also, several universities have programs with more formal, comprehensive training.

Answer 2

There is no school to learn to practice what you are asking because there is no such thing as a general Native American culture. Each nation has it's own culture- so you would have to be more specific as to which tribe/nation you are interested in. Many universities offer academic courses and degrees in Native American studies, Literature, Law, etc., however, if you are interested in "practicing" or living contemperary NA culture, you would have to live within that culture. Academics can only take you so far. Many tribes have tribally run universities on their reservations, where you can pursue intellectual experience as well as practical experience while living among the people.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as "Native American Culture" as native americans are not a single entity with a single mass culture. Native american people belong to a number of different groups with different languages, belief systems, life styles etc. To try and lump them into a single descriptive culture is racist and offensive.

Answer 4

Which Native Americans? North Carolina State and a few other schools in NC teach some Cherokee culture. But, all the tribes are different ... different languages, different arts, etc.

Answer 5

You have to be more specific as to which tribal culture you talking about. The culture of my tribe, Acoma Pueblo, is in many ways different from my wife's tribes, she's Tewa(Santa Clara Pueblo) and Pima(Gila River Indian Community). And it's extremely different from what you might find with Cherokee in North Carolina.
