Native
American Etiquette
Albuquerque, New Mexico's various pueblos are worth visiting for a fascinating insight into the Native American culture. If you plan to reside in, or visit Albuquerque, you will be in close proximity to a number of pueblos worthy of a visit. However, there are certain general guidelines that should be followed when visiting any Pueblos. Here are tips provided by New Mexico Magazine:
• Each tribe has its own government and visitors policy. They value common sense, continuity and respect. Please obey all laws when visiting Indian lands.
• The pueblos are not theme parks. They are villages and should be respected as such. Do not wander into homes without invitations.
• Photography is a particularly sensitive issue: Fees and restrictions vary from each pueblo and tribe and at times from activity to activity. Do not attempt to take photos, recordings or sketches if not allowed. The embarrassment of being caught is extreme.
• Certain areas of tribal communities are off limits to visitors and might not be posted. They include cemeteries, ceremonial buildings (kivas) and private homes. Do not climb walls or other structures.
• Do not remove artifacts, pottery shards or other tempting items.
• Do not bring alcohol or drugs onto the reservation.
