    A fascinating insight.by Yahoo | 2005-07-02 13:12:12 |

    We found it a most interesting place. WE were surprised that without us asking, we were invited to take as many photos as we wanted. It gave us a new perspective on Indian history and culture. It also made us feel rather guilty about what had been done to a fine people. They clearly respect the land and animals on ,it and we have very nearly destroyed that. There is also some very attractive artwork. I cannot commend this facility highly enough.
