Discover the world of the Lakota Sioux people through

For a fortnight you will live amongst the Lakota

with activities that include a night under the stars
in a tipi, watching exhilarating dance displays at
a powwow, and visits to see paint horses, bison and
mustangs. The excursion will also take you to see

National Park, and important locales like Wounded
