Home Stay

is there anywhere in the united states where you can stay with a local native american (indian) cherokee, navajo…etc. family and learn about culture and traditions from them like a homestay sort of thing (for maybe 3-10 days?)

i was just curious because i think it would be a great experience that i could benefit a lot from.

ignore people who don’t know what they are talking about…

i don’t know of any "program" to do what you are asking but many of the larger reservations have volunteers that work there in various capacities with youth or helping to build things etc. if you want to stay with a native family you may have to first get to know one and wait for an invitation.

   ADDED: another idea may be to go to a large pow wow (one with actual native people) and rent a camping space there. set up your tent and make friends. they usually last a couple days or the larger ones last 3-4 days.
