一年一度的原住民藝術節
地方性遺產

您能像照片中的女子,把一個裝滿水的罐子頂在頭上嗎
(不要在室內或使用易碎物品進行試驗!) 照片中的少女身上,穿著原住民的傳統服飾。曾經有一段時間,婦女會用頭來運水,而在為她們的家人採集食物時,空出雙手來提帶其他物品。

每年春天,亨德森的克拉克縣傳統博物館會舉辦原住民藝術節。這個連續三天的活動的主軸在傳統工藝品、食物、藝術及文化。

舞蹈表演深受歡迎。美國原住民舞蹈常意味著唱歌及以穿著羽毛、珠串、流蘇,有時還包括鈴鐺所裝飾的精美服裝。一般而言,男人與女人會分開跳舞,即使是團體舞蹈也不例外。為觀察誰能夠以最真實的風格代表部落演出,常會舉行各種競賽,而表演者則會花費許多時間,準備他們的服飾。另外,也有許多工匠會向他人展示如何製作原住民工藝品,如:陶器、沙畫、籃子或織物。每年都有數以千計的人湧入這個活動。它位於拉斯維加斯附近的地理位置,更方便許多遊客前來。博物館本身就是一個有趣的地方,在礦業展覽會場,您可以看見各式各樣的礦物,千萬別錯過一台1918年的火車蒸氣引擎,或者前去參觀重新打造完成的幽靈鎮!


Can you balance a jar on your head that is filled with water, like the woman in the photo is doing? (Don't try this indoors or with something breakable!) The woman in the photo is in Native dress. At one time, women carried water on their head so their hands could be free to carry other things as they gathered food for their families.

Each spring, Henderson's Clark County Heritage Museum in Nevada hosts the annual Native American Arts Festival. This three-day festival highlights traditional crafts, foods, arts and culture.

The dancing performances are very popular. Native American dancing often involves singing and the wearing of elaborate clothing decorated with feathers, beads, fringes, and sometimes bells. Men and women usually dance separately, even if they are in groups. There are different contests to see who can present themselves in the most authentic manner, and performers spend much time working on their outfits. Many of the artisans show how to make local Native crafts such as pottery, sand paintings, baskets or cloth. Each year, thousands of people come to the festival. Its location near Las Vegas makes it easy to reach for many visitors. The museum itself is an interesting place. You can see different kinds of minerals at a mining exhibit, look at a 1918 railroad steam engine, or even visit a re-created ghost town!
