Get a rare glimpse at the traditions and cultures of the Native American nations that span the Southwest during the 11th season of Native Trails, presented by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and produced by the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. During these free noontime festivals Jan. 17 through April 6, 2013, attendees will be enthralled by Native American song and dance performances that showcase traditional instruments, customary attire and colorful stories. Native Trails takes place from 12 to 1 p.m. on most Thursdays and Saturdays in the grassy outdoor amphitheater at Scottsdale Civic Center Park in downtown. Performers from tribes such as the Hopi, Diné (Navajo), San Carlos Apache and Cree take the stage as they guide attendees on a unique sensory journey that culminates in an audience-participation round dance, bringing the immersion experience full circle. In addition to enjoying the sights and sounds of Native Trails, indigenous food and crafts such as jewelry, textiles, pottery, instruments and large-scale paintings are available for purchase.
