The Best Way to Learn About Native American Life: Live it

Chief Alfred Red Cloud the great-grandson of famous Chief Red Cloud, set a goal to spread the truth about the heroism of some of the greatest Native American chiefs. His vehicle for achieving this goal is a small tourist agency situated in Sheridan, Wyoming called Go Native American. For history buffs and adventure seekers from around the world, one of Alfred Red Cloud’s Native American tours is a must.  Indigenous tribal guides lead visits to important native sites and provide interesting commentary on the history of America’s old wild west from the perspectives of both the military and Indians who struggled in the region. These tours can be taken on horseback or in vehicles. A highlight of one of the tours is a stay in a Tipi on the Cheyenne reservation. Native American culture, Arts and history are built into the experience as is an authentic powwow. One excellent tour takes visitors to the Little Bighorn Battlefield where they see the historic battle through the eyes of both General Custer who commanded the U.S. Army’s Seventh Cavalry and Chiefs Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull who led the largest gathering of Native American warriors the country had ever seen—Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapaho. Native Americans say that the tribal nations won the Battle of the Little Big Horn, but that it’s important to know the Cavalry lost the battle. Find out  why this detail is so important.
