In contrast to the other reserves of the country, people from this small settlement in the green valley will always welcome you. Of course they think a little about themselves, but why not? They try to sell hand made art work to increase there small income from agricultural.
You will see girls and women of all age in front of their cabins, producing tablecloth, dresses, blankets and leather goods in traditional technic. The men from the reserve carve wooden masks or engrave pumpkins with different scenes of the country.
Time seemed to stop there a long time ago, life goes on without stress and rush, but surviving is often hard.

Please support these people by doing some shopping there instead of in the tourist shops. Prices are low and the products will be an ever lasting souvenier, when you are back to regular hectic life.
