Experience Native American Culture

If you'd like to experience native American culture and appreciate its staying power, the followings can be your best choices.

Indian Pueblo Cultural Center

Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the IPCC highlights the culture of the state's 19 pueblos (印第安人村庄). Every weekend, dancers of Zuni pueblo perform in the center's square. There's a museum, an annual film festival, a café serving authentic pueblo food like fry bread, and a world­class research library open to the public.

American Indian Film Festival

The oldest and best known festival in the country mainly shows movies about the stories of America's original people. There are screenings, group discussions and an awards ceremony. Past guests have included director Chris Eyre, actors Adam Beach, and Chaske Spencer. The festival runs for nine days in November in San Francisco. Tickets are reserved at AIFF's website or by email.

Berkeley Indigenous Peoples Day Powwow

Among two dozen US cities and one state observing Indigenous Peoples Day currently, Berkeley, California was the first city in the country to turn Columbus Day into a celebration of Native Americans. The annual event features traditional dancing, retailers selling native crafts and food, and a blessing of the grounds.

Petroglyph National Monument

One of the largest petroglyph (岩石雕刻) sites in North America is on a cliff overlooking the suburbs of Albuquerque, New Mexico. There, native peoples scratched thousands of mysterious shapes and drawings of animals and humans into the stones between 400 and 2，000 years ago. When the Spanish travelled through in the 16th century, they added their initials to the Indians' sacred stones. It's a visual record of the conflict of cultures.

(2021·湖南湘潭高三模拟)Embroidery (刺绣) is an important art form in Chinese culture. People often embroider handkerchiefs, bed covers, tablecloths and dresses. Shu embroidery is one of the most famous embroidery styles in China. It's known for its strong expression and smooth needle­work.

The characteristics are greatly influenced by geographical environment, customs and cultures. Called the “Land of Abundance”， Sichuan Province is rich in grain production. The people of this area also enjoy a slow lifestyle. So when embroidering, they are usually patient and willing to spend time pursuing the form's complexity and elegance. This could also be a reason why Shu embroidery was listed as a national­level intangible cultural heritage in 2006.

Making beautiful Shu embroidery products is never easy.

It requires superb workmanship. Meng Dezhi, 59, was born to a family of embroiderers. She was one of the most talented employees at the Chengdu Shu embroidery factory. Even so, the long and repetitive nature of the process often challenges her. And in winter, when her hands and feet are freezing, things become more difficult. But her love for the work has encouraged Meng to continue. Even for an experienced master like Meng, finishing a piece requires several days or even a few months.

“These experiences may sometimes discourage me, but the love for Shu embroidery always gives me motivation to continue，” said Meng.

Meng has also popularised the culture of Shu embroidery when the tradition was at risk of declining.

Many cheap products are made by modern machines. In 2005, the factory Meng worked in was forced to close. To make a living and pass along the traditional technique, Meng rented a  small space of 10 square metres to teach Shu embroidery skills to the kids and young people.

“In the early days, I set up the company just for survival, but now I really feel that I have the responsibility to pass on Shu embroidery skills to young people. It is like sowing a seed — who knows which of them will become an inheritor (继承人) or guardian of our culture in the future？” she told China Daily.

Hidden in the rolling mountains of the southeast Chinese province of Fujian is a series of giant multistoried homes built with wood and defended with mud walls. Mostly built between the 15th and 20th centuries, these shared homes purposefully nestle among tea, tobacco, rice fields and thick forests of pine and bamboo.

These structures are known as the Fujian Tulou. Throughout history, their residents have mostly been Hakka － migrants in southern China who originated from lands next to the Yellow River. Population pressures created conflicts between the Hakka and their neighbours, so they built their homes to double as fortification (防御) structures.

Walls are up to 5 feet thick and can reach 60 feet high. Defensive features include iron gates, underground escape tunnels, tiled roofs, a water well, and a backup stock of grains and livestock in the event of a lengthy conflict. The buildings, usually three to four stories, are symmetrical (对称的) in their shapes — this means that in the event of a conflict there are no blind spots.

While tulou translates as “earthen building” in Chinese, the construction materials are made up of far more than just mud. The foundations of the structures are made of local river stones and the walls are made of fine mud sourced from rice fields. The mud is reinforced (加固) with bamboo mixed with sand and lime, and then compacted (压实) with a thick stick.

While similar in layout, each tulou is unique. The Yuchang Building, built in 1308, is the oldest and tallest and known for its tilted pillars, some of which lean at a sharp 15­degree angle. The Hegui Building is the largest rectangular(矩形的)one, covering an area of nearly 1，300 square metres. The Chengqi Building is the most massive in size, with about 400 rooms.

Because of the economic draw of the neighbouring cities, there's been a great loss of residents over the last 25 years. Today the structures that once housed thousands of people are only home to a couple of dozen permanent residents, most of them elderly. In 2008, 46 tulou were given World Heritage status by UNESCO. The growth of tourism in the area not only has kept the buildings from being destroyed, but also has promoted local businesses and allowed tulou to remain living and functional relics.
