Native American Indian Culture
本地人，本地情
Many visitors to the USA are interested in our Native American population. They often ask about how they can visit an Indian Reservations, meet Native Americans and learn about their culture. Unfortunately, many foreign visitors to the USA share some common misconceptions about Native Americans. Let’s see if we can clarify the situation a bit.
Visiting Indian Reservations 走访印第安人家
You can visit any of the Indian reservations, but there may be little for you to see. Most Indian families live in homes that are not very different from any other houses in the USA. On the wealthier reservations, the natives live in nice modern houses or on large ranches. On the poorer reservations, the natives live in small older houses or trailers. Very few natives live in the traditional dwellings of their ancestors. The Indian pueblos in New Mexico and Arizona are the rare exception where some of the natives still live in the ancient adobe communal buildings of their ancestors.
