Discover the history, culture and customs of Native Americans and Native Hawaiians by experiencing activities and events in 12 U.S. regions, including Alaska and Hawaii.
Name: nativeamerica.travel
What it does: The American Indian Alaska Native Tourism Association has created an online guide and interactive map that highlights Native American travel destinations and experiences.
What's hot: The site is a gateway to culturally rich travel opportunities. Click on either Destination or Experiences, then browse a visual gallery of activities and events such as "Explore the Hopi Arts Trail" in the Southwest or "Rafting the Wild Buffalo Rapids" in the Rocky Mountains. You can even go on a tour in Alaska to hear the "10,000-Year-Old Song of the Sitka Tribe." Each experience has links to nearby accommodations and local travel resources, weather information and nearby attractions. You can even create a bucket list to keep track of places or events you might like to go to. Don't miss the Travel Tips section, where you can read up on rules and general guidelines for visiting tribal lands.
What's not: Navigation is cumbersome, because of all the entry points to information within the site. It's easy to be captivated by the Experiences section, but when you're ready to plan your trip, you have to return to the interactive map link in the top navigation bar. Turn on the Accommodations button and you'll find options such as RV/Camping, Casino Hotel and even Specialty Lodging and Resorts. Other buttons include Experiences, Attractions and Tribes.
