Some of these companies seem more legitimate than others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do an inventory of at least two non-Indigenous vision quest sites (those listed below or some you find on your own) and note what aspects of the vision quest they are promoting and what is involved in participating in one of their visions quests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you believe it is possible for cultural traditions to be learned and reinvented by another culture ethically?
