WHITEFEATHER NATIVE CULTURAL TOURS
An Invitation into the Living Culture of Taos Pueblo
In the heart of Northern New Mexico, where Taos Mountain rises in quiet majesty and the Red Willow River weaves through the high desert, the spirit of Taos Pueblo endures. Whitefeather Native Cultural Tours invites you to step into that living rhythm — to walk the ancestral lands, listen to the songs of the people, and experience a way of life that has flourished for over a thousand years.
Founded and led by Kevin Whitefeather, a respected member of Taos Pueblo, Whitefeather Tours is the only Native-owned and operated cultural immersion experience in Taos. Each offering is rooted in the values of reciprocity, respect, and relationship — an authentic bridge between visitors and the Red Willow people. Guests are invited not as tourists, but as participants in a shared exchange, learning directly from the land, the stories, and the heartbeat of the community.
Whitefeather’s immersions are designed for groups of four or more, creating space for connection and reflection. Whether through a Day or Sunset Immersion, guests are guided into a world where song, ceremony, and nature unite in harmony. These are not scripted tours; they are living experiences shaped by the moment, the season, and the energy of those present.
IMMERSION OFFERINGS
Each Whitefeather Cultural Immersion is a guided journey into the living traditions of the Red Willow people. Led by Kevin Whitefeather, these experiences invite groups of four or more to connect deeply with the land, community, and spiritual teachings of Taos Pueblo. Offered as Day or Sunset Immersions, each journey blends story, ceremony, and cultural exchange to create an authentic connection between visitors and the living heritage of Taos Pueblo.
DAY IMMERSION — A JOURNEY INTO LIVING TRADITIONS
A transformative half-day exploration through the heart of Taos Pueblo culture. Guests experience the beauty and rhythm of daily life, guided by the stories, songs, and teachings of Kevin Whitefeather.
Includes:
A Journey Begins: Welcome and orientation at the Taos Pueblo Visitor Center.

SUNSET IMMERSION — A SACRED GATHERING AT DUSK
An evening of connection and ceremony on Kevin’s ancestral land, where the setting sun opens a window into stillness, song, and story.

This gathering is meant to slow time — to draw guests into the rhythms of the earth, the voices of the ancestors, and the warmth of shared human experience.
A LIVING HERITAGE
Whitefeather Native Cultural Tours is built on the belief that education and connection heal divides. Each experience is an offering of perspective — a reminder that culture is not history, but a living, breathing relationship between people and place. The teachings shared through these immersions help visitors understand the Pueblo worldview: one that values harmony, gratitude, and respect for all forms of life.
From the sacred buffalo herd to the songs that rise with the evening wind, every moment with Whitefeather Tours reveals how ancient traditions continue to thrive in modern times. Guests leave not only with memories, but with a renewed sense of belonging to the earth itself.
