What is a cultural encampment?
Cultural encampment is a group of Native Americans from different parts of the United States coming together, making village-type settings with tipis and tents. We share our individual cultures and traditional information with the community.
Many moons ago, traveling through an area, you might see groups of tipis or tents for a short time in each area. There were there to gather together, trade or meet family members and to celebrate life by having a big feast as they traveled from one area to another.
