They left examples of their creativity, manufacturing skills, and architecture across the land that became the United States. As European settlers came to North America, they brought their cultures with them. Since the founding of the United States, Americans have taken an interest in the history and culture of other people and places. This guide highlights over 500 locations across the United States where you can learn about world history and culture. It includes archaeological sites where you can learn about ancient people who lived in North America and museums where you can learn about ancient and modern civilizations across Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. Entries are sorted by state and by city within each state. The types of sites vary considerably from huge museums with millions of items to small displays with a few dozen items to outdoor examples of Native American architecture. These are the main types of sites: • Native American sites, including cliff dwellings, rock art, and earthen mounds. We focus primarily on sites that flourished before European colonization, though you will find several museums about American Indian culture. • Historic sites related to Spanish and French influence in the United States. • Ethnic museums that focus on a particular culture or country. • Art museums that have collections of ancient or international art. We have generally not included art museums that feature only American and European painting. • Natural history and science museums that have exhibits on ancient history or international cultures. • Archaeology museums that feature artifacts related to Bible history and other ancient cultures. Be aware that some of the museums promote a history of the world that includes human evolution, which we do not endorse. Many will also have displays that include nudity and violence. Some of the museums are run by religious groups that have teachings or practices which do not agree with the Bible. Finally, some of the sites are in remote locations that can be dangerous to visit because of weather or terrain. Be safe and engage your children in conversation about the things you see and experience together.

  • Monument Valley Meander

    Monument Valley Meander

    RV Traveler's Roadmap to Monument Valley Meander However you experience it, the valley is a wonder to behold, a harsh yet hauntingly beautiful landscape. View it in early morning, when shadows lift from rocky marvels. Admire it in springtime,when tiny pink and blue wildflowers sprinkle the land with jewel-like specks of color. Try to see it through the eyes of the Navajos, who still herd their sheep and weave their rugs here. 1 Highlights & Facts For The Ideal Experience Agathla Peak Trip Length: Roughly 260 miles, plus side trips Best Time To Go: Spring - autumn What To Watch Out For: When on Indian reservations abide by local customs. Ask permission before taking photos, never disturb any of the artifacts. Must See Nearby Attractions: Grand Canyon National Park (near Flagstaff, AZ) Petrified Forest National Park (near Holbrook, AZ) Zion National Park (Springdale, UT) 2 Traveler's Notes Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park The stretch of Rte. 163 called the Trail of the Ancients in honor of the vanished Anasazis cuts across Monument Valley at the Utah border on its way to the little town of Mexican Hat. Named for a rock formation there that resembles an upside-down sombrero a whimsical footnote to the magnificence of Monument Valley—Mexican Hat is the nearest settlement to Goosenecks State Park, just ahead and to the west via Rtes. 261 and 316. The monuments in the park have descriptive names. They are based on ones imagination. These names were created by the early settlers of Monument Valley. Others names portray a certain meaning to the Navajo people.

Everyone who lived in the woodlands prior to Removal knew about earthworks, if they weren’t building them. The beautiful, enormous, geometric precision of the Hopewell earthworks were the culmination of the combined brilliance of cultures in the Eastern Woodlands across time and distance. Has this traditional indigenous knowledge persisted in the cultural traditions of contemporary American Indian cultures today?

Humans construct humanity and personhood partially via interactions with other-than-human persons, such as animals, plants, and objects. I examine ritualized interactions between humans and others-than-human in a southeastern Indigenous "natureculture," exploring the intersections of ontology, personhood, and performance practice. Pvlvcekolv, an animistic Florida-based tribal town with a ceremonial Fire that pre-dates European Contact, maintains a centuries-old ritual tradition, the busk. Sometimes known as "Green Corn Ceremonialism," many Native communities share this tradition, including ii Cherokee, Chickasaw, Seminole, Yuchi, and other Creek peoples historically and in the present day. Performing the songs, dances, and ritual actions of the busk places participants into dialogue with other-than-human persons.
