A Week of Learning 2013: American Indians of the Great Plains

 

Join us for Osher’s fourth annual Week of Learning.  This year we journey on an in-depth exploration of the Great Plains American Indians of Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota.  Learn firsthand of this difficult, often tragic, but important story of our country’s first inhabitants.   Each day tour significant historical locations including Wounded Knee and Little Big Horn; visit noted museums such as the Journey Museum, the Red Cloud Heritage Center and the Crazy Horse Memorial Education and Cultural Center; and explore ancient spiritual sites including the Devil’s Tower, the Badlands and the Big Horn Medicine Wheel.  Meet tribal leaders from the Crow and Pine Ridge reservations.  Price includes round-trip airfare, private motor coach, all admissions, six nights lodging, breakfast and lunch each day as well as welcome and farewell dinners.
