This paper presents part of my research on these European groups for cultural- historical reenactment whose members (called “Indianists”, “Euro-Indians”, “Indian hobbyists”, etc.) study and reconstruct aspects of the past and traditional cultures of various indigenous peoples of North America. Specifically, it examines the membership requirements, as well as the organization and hierarchy in the cited groups – as an attitude and as a reality. Empirical data was collected over a long period of time through participatory observation, structured and semi- structured interviews, as well as numerous free conversations both through correspondence and during camps and other events of Indianists from Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Great Britain and other European countries.
