We've been to Cortez about 50 times and have never taken the time to watch the evening Native American Dancing that takes place every night at 7PM. I'm now sorry we haven't been to it sooner! Last night the dancing was conducted by a husband and wife team, whose day jobs are teachers near Gallup. He was very funny, and told us about his family history and about the dances. The bead work on her dress was amazing. If you really watched her dance, you noticed that her heels never touched the ground. Tonight one of the last code talkers was going to speak, and I'm sorry we had to head home so we missed it. The little museum also has many nice exhibits, and art work by local artists. We will definitely go back! The show was free, and afterwards you could go up and talk to the dancers. (And did I mention he also plays the native American flute.) Donations were accepted.

This cultural center is very home grown in feel. Local senior citizens man the counter and can tell you something about most of the items for sale and show. They are certainly enthusiastic. Local artists sell jewelry, paintings, cards and other hand made items so you will find unique gifts and the overhead goes into the local economy. The back wall is painted to look like the building is a three-demensional pueblo and a replica of a hogan stands nearby an area used for native dances. Worth a stop if you are in Cortez.

Several times a week the Cortez Cultural Center offers Native American dancing - and it's free (donations accepted).

The web site is not kept up to day. Web site indicated in summer Indian dances every evening. Then a Mesa Verde park ranger checked internet for us; the cultural center web calender indicated dances would be on Monday 6/2. The hotel staff indicated they were advised the dances are every evening at 7:30, to get there early for a seat. We visited the Cultural Center to learn the dances did not begin until 6/4.

Visit here only if time permits. Small place. Not very much to see. Takes 10 minutes. Staff friendly but asked too many questions of the visitors.

We love this because of the Indian dances and programs in the summer, they are not in the spring or fall. Always there are art exhibits in the back. Look at the exhibits and the things to buy at the gift shop. The volunteers are happy to tell a lot of information about everything in Cortez and its history.

Your guide to the Mesa Verde Area. But there are a lot of different ruins that are free to the public.

Worth the time to call ahead and find out about the schedule - I saw several dance performances, story tellers and one WWII veteran's talk about this experiences and loved them all. It's a great little gem and the little center has some neat displays.

We happened by the cultural center on our way downtown and there was native dancing going on in the back amphitheater. Well done and entertaining as my son was happy to watch. Yes, the place is small, but that means it doesn't take you much time to stop in.
