Native American Experiences launched

Pure Vacations and our Native American local supplier engages only indigenous people to guide our guests, thus providing indigenous people with a platform to define themselves according to traditional beliefs and cultural imperatives. We believe that in self-definition there is individual and cultural empowerment, and our guests benefit from that expression; this historic and contemporary realities that are preserved and shared in the oral tradition, thus contributing to that most ancient of communicative patterns that binds us all - the human dynamic that allows us to relate to one another as human beings. There is laughter, pain, joy, beauty, love, loss and triumphs and tragedies. We are alive! And we will welcome you to travel with us to lands of outstanding beauty, to appreciate ancient cultures, and to interact with Peoples of astounding spirit.

We pride ourselves on taking small groups of guests, not tourists, to build bridges between Indigenous and nonIndigenous cultures, in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Our journeys were initiated in consultation with tribal elders, spokespeople, and elected tribal council members, and we have become renowned for the way we conduct them. We were advised that by taking small groups, our tour members have a better chance of touching the earth, of hearing, learning, and understanding. Our tour members walk lightly upon the earth, with respect for members of the contemporary community, and for those who passed this way before us. In this spirit sacred rock art sites are preserved, sacred sites are protected, and the impact of places like Sand Creek and Wounded Knee are communicated in the context of events and consequences rather than as tourist attractions.
