4 .                                                                                                                       Experience Native American Culture

If you'd like to experience native American culture and appreciate its staying power, the followings can be your best choices.

Indian Pueblo Cultural Center

Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the IPCC highlights the culture of the state’s 19 pueblos (印第安人村庄 ). Every weekend, dancers of Zuni pueblo perform in the center’s square. There's a museum, an annual film festival, a cafe serving authentic pueblo food like fry bread, and a world-class research library open to the public.

American Indian Film Festival

The oldest and best known festival in the country mainly shows movies about the stories of America's original people. There are screenings, group discussions and an awards ceremony. Past guests have included director Chris Eyre, actors Adam Beach, and Chaske Spencer. The festival runs for nine days in November in San Francisco. Tickets are reserved at AIFF's website or by e-mail.

Berkeley Indigenous Peoples Day Powwow

Among two dozen U.S. cities and one state observing Indigenous Peoples Day currently, Berkeley, California was the first city in the country to turn Columbus Day into a celebration of Native Americans. The annual event features traditional dancing, retailers selling native crafts and food, and a blessing of the grounds.

Petroglyph National Monument

One of the largest petroglyph ( 岩刻 ) sites in North America is on a cliff overlooking the suburbs of Albuquerque, New Mexico. There, native peoples scratched thousands of mysterious shapes and drawings of animals and humans into the stones between 400 and 2,000 years ago. When the Spanish traveled through in the 16th century, they added their initials to the Indians' sacred stones. It's a visual record of the conflict of cultures.

6 . Given the extremely unpleasant heatwaves of this summer, being green and good to the planet feels more urgent than ever. The actions of our governments and cities, who have the power to make a great dent in the climate crisis, are important.

Now, there are plenty of cities that are still failing to effectively take action in the climate emergency. But others are becoming successful quickly—like, for instance, the winners of two of the European Union’s most famous green cities awards: European Green Capital and European Green Leaf.

Both of the awards recognize not just what the green—stuffed cities have already achieved, but also what they’ve got planned for the future. There’s only one European Green Capital winner per year, while the yearly European Green Leaf recognizes the environmental achievements of two smaller EU cities.

And now the winners of those two awards have finally been announced. European Green Capital in 2024 will be Valencia in southern Spain, which defeated the Sardinian city of Cagliari in the final.

Valencia says proudly Turia park—the largest urban（城市的）park in Europe—has obviously increased its green infrastructure（基础设施）polices in recent years. As well as being Green Capital 2024, Valencia will take home £350,000 to put towards green policies. (2023’s winner is Tallinn, Estonia)

The Green Leaf award, meanwhile, has been won by the Danish city of Elsinore and Velenje, the fifth—largest city in Slovenia. The two winners of the Green Leaf will get £75,000 to fund local green efforts.

For the separate awards, each city had to present their ideas to a judging group. The winners were announced at a ceremony in Grenoble (this year’s European Green Capital) last week.

So even if you don’t care about EU medals. it’s very much worth visiting all these cities to find out all the cool stuff they’re doing to save the world, hit by hit.

9 . With the Easter Holidays just around the corner, here are four different ideas to inspire you to make the most of the break.

Located in Cheshire, Dunham Massey Deer Park is the ideal spot for a walk on the wild side.

Keep an eye out for the grazing herd off allow deer as you stroll (漫步) under the branches and leaves of numerous ancient trees planted hundreds of years ago. Deer isn’t the only animal attraction here though as the park is full of wildlife.

If you’re adventurous, climb the rocks at Keswick or perhaps take a gentler stroll round one of the lakes, like Buttermere. It wouldn’t be a trip to the Lake District without getting on the water though. Explore the waterways of this beautiful location with and see a different view from a kayak on Derwent Water. If you pass through Grasmere, be sure to stop at the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop for authentic gingerbread, rum butter, and other treats.

Bursting with museums, attractions, and events for everyone, York is the perfect Easter Holiday destination. Marvel at the majesty of York Minister and the medieval city walls. Or learn about the diverse history of this amazing city at one of the museums, from its start as a Roman settlement, through the Viking ages as Jorvik, to its current day.

Head to North Wales if you’re after some wild adventures. There’s plenty of hills, lakes, rivers, and forests to explore, but if your kids have a lot of energy to burn, then Mount Snowdon, should be your objective. Standing 1,085metrest all, it’s sure to provide an exciting adventure for the whole family.
