Essential Native American Travel Destinations & Experiences For Summer

Traveling to Indian Reservations doesn’t register on many people’s “travel bucket lists.” There are a lot of reasons for this, which are far too complicated to get into here, ranging from cultural disconnects to overt racism . That’s a shame, as a trip to an Indian Reservation is an enlightening experience and should be essential to get a handle on who we really are as Americans.

Indian Country (that’s the collective name for all of America and Canada’s reservations) is home to many of the first peoples of this country. There you’ll find wholly unique cultures and some of the most beautiful scenery on the continent — from the Badlands of South Dakota to the vast hop fields of the Yakama Valley to the blue waterfalls of the Havasupai.

Indian reservations are also at the very bottom of America’s socio-economic ladder . There are no poorer, sicker, and at-risk Americans than those living on reservations . It may feel difficult to know how to help those left behind in America, especially when it all seems so far away. But there is a way to help, right now in fact. Go there . Book a tour. Eat at a roadside diner. Hire a guide. Visit art galleries. Buy things. Spend money in general. Tourism dollars are a great way to support our fellow Americans who are at the bottom, struggling to finally rise above their lot in this American life.

Below are 12 amazing destinations around Indian Country where you can spend your summer tourist dollars, gain incredible experiences, and help Native-run businesses. There are, of course, more places than just these 12. America has 326 Indian Reservations and over 500 recognized tribes, with variously incorporated communities. Take these 12 as a starting point. Then, when you get home, find the reservation nearest you and check it out.

Havasupai Falls, Havasupai Indian Reservation — Arizona

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Whitney (@whereswhitty)

Havasupai has gotten a huge boost recently from the Instagram generation’s love of the place . It’s shockingly beautiful. The reservation is huddled up next to Grand Canyon National Park and, in fact, the Havasupai unit is an offshoot of that canyon. The red rock walls and blue waters make for a dynamic contrast that’s photo ready for anyone’s bucket list feed.

You can’t just walk into Havasupai. There are constant mud and landslides that make the area very dangerous. The area is also very, very sacred to the Havasupai people. Please, do not traipse around on your own.

You’ll need to make a reservation with the tribe for a pass to hike and camp. Expect to pay between $140 and $200 to camp in the area. Unfortunately, camping and lodging reservations for 2018 are already sold out . However, because of the physical effort involved in getting down to the reservation (it’s a 10-mile hike or a $200 helicopter ride), there are plenty of scratches and you can often score a site at the last second. You can make also booking for 2019 as of June 1st. But you’ll have to act now, as these will also book up fast.

Don’t forget to hit up the Supai Cafe for a Supai Burger — that’s a burger made with a fry bread bun.

Tatanka Rez Tourz, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation — South Dakota

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zachary Johnston (@ztpwhiskey)

Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is the most economically depressed community in the United States with a life expectancy lower than Iraq’s . These people need your tourist dollars. Pine Ridge is also the size of Connecticut. So getting around and finding the sweet spots requires guidance.

Tatanka Rez Tourz is led by father-daughter team Warren and Tianna Yellowhair. They meet with singles, couples, or groups and take them to the main sites around the reservation — from the Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial to the Oglala Lakota College . Along with the tour, you’ll get an in-depth and enlightening experience about the history of the Lakota, their battles with the US government, broken treaties, starvation, and the eventual Wounded Knee Massacre wherein US soldiers shot, killed, and then horrifically mutilated over 300 unarmed men, women, and children for dancing and singing.

Be warned, a tour in this part of the country is harrowing. Rates for the rez tour range from $50 per person to $25 per person in groups of ten or more. Transportation is generally provided.

Discover Navajo, Navajo Nation — Arizona, Utah, & New Mexico

https://www.instagram.com/p/BWxs_klgQLa/

The Navajo Nation — home to the Dine people — is one of the only corners of Indian Country where an indigenous population still controls the vast majority of their ancestral lands. This is due to the failed extermination attempts through forced marches to a concentration camp a state away, the failure of that camp, and the US government basically giving up. After all that, amazingly, the Dine got their home back. And their home is one of the most magical corners of the planet from the great Monument Valley to the canyons of Utah and Arizona to vast Painted Deserts.

Discover Navajo is your one-stop shop for tours all over the Navajo Nation. Their website has direct links to local tour operators for horseback riding, fishing, self-guided tours, and every other kind of tour you can think of. They also offer the Navajo Cultural Tour that lasts for three days and touches the Navajo museums, Canyon de Chelly, Monument Valley, Window Rock, and more.

Check out local tour operators for prices .

Antelope Canyon Tours, Navajo Nation — Arizona

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi6-_UcDK5p/

Getting into the nitty-gritty of the greatness of the Navajo Nation, you have to take a moment for Antelope Canyon. This corner of the nation, near the Utah stateline, is one of the continent’s most mythical places. It’s also an extremely sacred place for the Navajo people and, therefore, gated — to stop people from accessing the place without a local guide.

Antelope Canyon Tours is your best, local bet for getting into Antelope for a full tour. Tours generally last between one and two hours and will set you back between $40 and $110.

Go Native America — Nationwide

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bjr_mcSlFFm/

Indian Country is vast. There are tribes living in every state, with communities worth exploring. Go Native America embraces the vastness and uniqueness of these communities by offering tours and connecting travelers with local guides to lead them around Native America.

Tours can range from one-day rez tours to multi-day excursions onto reservations and into the backcountries for camping and hiking. Tours operate in South and North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, New Mexico, Arizona, and Alaska currently. Trips to Powwows are also available.

Expect to pay up to $1,000 for three-day trips . Ride and guide day tours, like their Little Big Horn tour , are closer to $500 a pop.

Standing Rock National Native American Scenic Byway, Standing Rock Indian Reservation — North Dakota

View this post on Instagram A post shared by On A Mission Jewelry (@onamissionjewelry)

Standing Rock made news a couple years back for their stand against big oil and an impending pipeline. Of course, there’s more to Standing Rock than just a protest site. The reservation in North Dakota is a beautiful grassland with very important monuments to Native American Heritage — Sitting Bull’s final resting place is in Fort Yates, near the banks of the Missouri.

While there aren’t a lot of “classic” tourism options here, The Standing Rock Native American Scenic Byway is a classic road trip stretch. The great plains stretch out on either side of the mighty Missouri River, giving any road-tripping wanderluster a drastically beautiful view of a sea of grass.

The Standing Rock Monument, Sitting Bull Memorial, Standing Rock Lewis & Clark Nature Trail, Lake Oahe, and Holy Hills of the Mandan Indians are all must-stop spots along the byway . The two casinos on the rez offer accommodations from standard hotel rooms to cabins along the banks of the Missouri.

Wind River Scenic Byway, Wind River Indian Reservation — Wyoming

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Travel Wyoming (@visitwyoming)

While Standing Rock’s Byway is through a sea of grass, Wind River’s Byway cuts along the river through a great canyon with drastic rock walls hemming you in. Wind River, like Standing Rock, is also among the most-depressed communities in America economically. So spending money here is a huge help to that community.

The byway will only take you 40 minutes to drive through if you’re in a hurry: So take your time. Go rock climbing, book a river rafting tour, grab a bite to eat, maybe drop a line in the river and snag a rainbow trout. Then hit up Warm Valley Native Tours in Fort Washakie for a full-on tour of Wind River Reservation with stops at sites like Sacajawea’s grave.

Access to the byway is free. Email Warm Valley Native Tours for individual rates on rez tours.

Miccosukee Indian Village & Airboat Rides, Miccosukee Tribe of Indians Reservation — Florida

https://www.instagram.com/p/BjiycDEHZv8/

The Miccosukee have a long history in what is now the American South. Originally from the upper valleys of Tennessee and Georgia, they ended up in Florida after European expansion pushed them out of their homelands. Today they have a small reservation amongst Florida’s Everglades and have spent the last two centuries adapting to the alligators and wetlands.

Miccosukee Indian Village is a great place to get a handle on this tribe, their culture, and Florida’s unique backwaters. You can take airboat rides through the swamps, wrestle alligators, and explore the heritage of the Miccosukee people at the Indian Village Museum.

Group airboat rides will set you back $20. Private airboat trips are between $150 and $300. The alligator shows and Indian Village are free . There’s also plenty of accommodations and food options at the local resort casino .

Tillicum Village — Blake Island, Washington

https://www.instagram.com/p/BjiWSUmAj2r/

Tillicum Village isn’t on a reservation. It’s also not “native” owned — it’s owned by Seattle-based Argosy Cruises. Still, the site employs local Natives and celebrates Salish culture in a way that’s accessible and enlightening. In the end, hitting up this place helps preserve native culture while employing actual, local Natives.

Tillicum Village sits on Blake Island State Park about 40 minutes by boat from downtown Seattle. The Village is home to a huge longhouse, a forest of totems, huge pits for cooking salmon, and a stage where the legend of the Raven is performed in all its glory (that’s the bird who stole the sun to bring light to the earth). The salmon is spot on, the story is a crucial part of local history, and the island is a great place to spend the day outside the bustle of Seattle.

Expect a four to five hour trip and to spend around $91 for the boat ride, food, and experience.

Crow Native Days, Crow Agency — Montana

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Billings Gazette (@billingsgazette)

There are a lot of great events in Indian Country from the Gathering of Nations Pow Wow in New Mexico to the Red Earth Festival out in Oklahoma. But one of the most fun and unique is Crow Native Days up in Montana.

Crow Agency is home to the Battle of Little Big Horn site amongst a sea of grasslands, roaming buffalo, prancing antelope, and little roadside shacks selling Indian Tacos. It’s also home to a culture devoted to horses. And Crow Native Days is centered around one of the greatest rodeos in America.

The event blends the pageantry of a great pow wow with the excitement of an Indian Rodeo. Horse racing, horse riding tricks and acrobatics, and fancy dancing happen side-by-side with plenty of fry bread and buffalo stew stands in between to nourish you. It’s a four-day spiritual party that’s unlike anything else in the world.

Crow Native Days generally fall around June 20th every year. Entrance prices to the events vary, but generally, cost less than a tenner.

The Cherokee Heritage Center, Cherokee Nation — Oklahoma

https://www.instagram.com/p/BbF96-YDyRn/

The Cherokee people have a very long and sad history. They were once the most integrated tribe in the United States with large plantations, newspapers, theaters, and everything else that comes with a “modern” society. Then the United States decided they wanted it all and forcibly removed them, along with several other Southern tribes to “Indian Country” in what’s now Oklahoma. The Trail of Tears ensued as the indigenous population of the American South lost everything.

To get a real handle on what happened, a trip to The Cherokee Heritage Center in Tahlequah, Oklahoma is crucial. The center has a village set up as it would have been in 1710 , a Trail of Tears museum , an art gallery, and several events throughout the year devoted to all things Cherokee. There’s also an education wing that focuses on cultural outreach and a genealogy department for tribal members to trace their heritage. It’s a full experience and you’ll walk away wiser for having absorbed it.

Admission is only $8.50 per adult and Saturdays are free for everyone.

National Museum of the American Indian — Washington, DC

View this post on Instagram A post shared by National Museum of the American Indian (@smithsoniannmai)

Lastly, a trip to Washington, DC, and the National Museum of the American Indian is an absolute must for all Americans. The museum house exhibits touch on the 500+ cultures that were decimated by manifest destiny over the last 400 years.

This year is an especially important time to hit the museum as they’ve started parsing the broken treaties and actions of the US government that led to extermination . The museum also launched the “ Americans ” exhibit that dives deeply into how the “image” of the stereotypical American Indian has been highjacked, perverted, and at times celebrated for commercial products and national pride over the centuries to present day. The whole museum is a masterclass in Native American life with a killer indigenous food court to boot.

The museum is free for everyone .

Join us at 7pm for the Politics Hub with Sophy Ridge, where we'll cover all the major political stories of the day.

We've just heard from the transport secretary, Louise Haigh, and she was asked about the most controversial decision of the new Labour government - to means-test the winter fuel allowance for pensioners.

Firebrand union leader Sharon Graham has told Sky News that Labour is "picking the pockets of pensioners" - but Ms Haigh defended the decision, saying the new government "inherited a dire economic situation".

"Billions of pounds overspent by the last government," she told broadcasters. "The nation's reserves, which were designed for emergency measures, were spent three times over in the first two months of this financial year alone.

"And in that context, really, really difficult decisions have to be made."

She went on to say that "lots of us feel that we certainly wouldn't have wanted to make those decisions" - but the economic circumstances require it.

The cabinet minister insisted that the government is still "protecting the most vulnerable pensioners".

The Afghanistan embassy in London has closed down after the Taliban sacked all its staff there.

The militant group, which is currently in control of the central Asian nation, regained power after US forces withdrew in 2021.

 Afghan ambassador to the UK Zalmai Rassoul said in a post on X that the embassy will close on 27 September "at the official request of the host country".

He added: "We thank and appreciate all colleagues, citizens, and related institutions who have sincerely co-operated with the Afghan Embassy in London during this period."

A spokesman for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: "The embassy is being closed following the dismissal of its staff by the Taliban."

The UK does not recognise the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan and has moved its own embassy from Kabul to Qatar.

His team had promised a "punchy" speech by Paul Nowak, the TUC general secretary. And he certainly didn't pull his punches, writes chief political correspondent Jon Craig in Brighton.

When it's not hosting political or trade union conferences, the famous Brighton Centre regularly stages top international boxing bouts, including world title fights.

And Mr Nowak had his opponents on the ropes – if not the canvas – with a speech that was pugilistic, to say the least, and at times brutal.

As soon as he came out of his corner, the TUC chief started landing fierce blows on the Conservatives: "One of the most right-wing, incompetent, anti-union, morally bankrupt governments this country has ever seen."

Tell us what you really think, Paul.

And he went on: "While I'm not one to revel in other people's misfortune, I have to say I enjoyed every single Portillo moment in the early hours of July 5th.

"It was a roll call of political failure: Gillian Keegan....gone, Grant Shapps....gone, Penny Mordaunt....gone, Jacob Rees-Mogg....gone. And of course, the former prime minister that couldn't outlast a lettuce – Liz Truss...gone.

"Goodbye and good riddance to every single one of them!"

His audience of union leaders and activists loved it and cheered every name.

But his really brutal onslaught was reserved for the Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, despite Mr Nowak admitting 24 hours earlier in a news conference that many union members voted for the party.

"Nigel Farage isn't a friend of the working class," he declared. "He's a fraud, a public school educated, private equity loving, NHS-privatising, Putin-apologist fraud."

And that was despite Mr Farage tweeting "Make Boxing Great Again" after attending a bout at the O2 Arena earlier this year.

And what of Labour and Sir Keir Starmer?

"Let me say upfront, we won't always agree with the new government on every issue," he warned the Labour leader, though he didn't specifically mention the proposed winter fuel payments cuts.

He challenged Sir Keir: "It's vital that Labour delivers its mandate for change: a new deal for working people delivered in full, stronger public services, clamping down on the tax cheats and the non-doms."

So let that be a warning to Labour from the TUC: no throwing in the towel on the 4 Ws: wages, winter fuel payments, workers' rights and a wealth tax.

For Mr Nowak, the gloves are off.

Journalists have just had a briefing with the prime minister's spokesperson.

Unsurprisingly, the matter of the government's plan to cut the winter fuel payment for 10 million pensioners came up.

Asked if there were any plans to soften the policy - the spokesperson replied "not at all".

They were then questioned on whether the cabinet was concerned about thousands of people freezing this winter.

The spokesperson said ministers agreed the economy needed to be fixed, and they have a mandate to deliver what was promised before the election.

There are still five people left in the race to be the next leader of the Conservative Party.

James Cleverly, Tom Tugendhat, Robert Jenrick, Kemi Badenoch and Mel Stride are all set to go before a hustings of Tory MPs this afternoon.

But pollsters at Savanta have been asking the public at large for their views on the various candidates.

They quizzed 2,239 UK adults about who they thought would make a better prime minister - Sir Keir Starmer or each one of the Tory hopefuls.

It does not make pretty reading for those in blue.

The best performing was Mr Cleverly - 23% thought he would make a better PM, while 47% backed Sir Keir.

Mr Tugendhat was down by 47% to 22%, Mr Jenrick by 48% to 20% and Ms Badenoch by 49% to 20%.

Languishing in last is Mr Stride - down by 48% to 16%.

The missing percentage will be those who don't know.

One key factor in the current race is the public is not as familiar with the candidates - which might impact the results.

Mick Lynch, the general secretary of the RMT union, has been speaking to chief political correspondent Jon Craig down in Brighton at the Trades Union Congress.

Jon asked Mr Lynch what exactly he wanted to see from the Labour government.

The union boss said Chancellor Rachel Reeves has "got a number of levers at her disposal" but she has "chosen to declare that she's not going to use very many of them".

He highlights Labour shying away from borrowing to invest in infrastructure - with government policy instead saying it wants private investment.

On the winter fuel payment cut, Mr Lynch says the unions are "not here to dictate to the chancellor".

"But she shouldn't delimit herself in such a way that she seems to have done in the run-up to her first budget. 

"But she's in for the long term, and we respect that."

Mr Lynch says that Ms Reeves needs to make some room "politically" to lay out the case for a "better public spending regime" - something he says the unions can help with.

On what he would like to see to save money or raise revenue, Mr Lynch again calls for wealth taxes.

Ministers are racing to finalise a £1.25bn deal with Tata Steel, the owner of Britain's biggest steelworks, amid fading hopes of a similarly consensual agreement with the industry's second-largest player.

Sky News understands that Jonathan Reynolds, the business secretary, wants to make a statement to parliament on Wednesday about the Tata Steel deal after Prime Minister's Questions.

That involved £500m being handed to Indian-owned Tata Steel to aid Port Talbot's transition to a more environmentally friendly electric arc furnace.

In return, the company would invest £750m, but nearly 3,000 jobs would disappear.

Industry sources said that redundancy terms and retraining programmes for affected workers were among the final points being negotiated between Tata Steel and the government.

However, the £500m grant is expected to remain largely unchanged, and it was unclear what, if any, job guarantees Tata Steel would provide.

Paul Nowak, the general secretary of the Trades Union Congress, is addressing the group's annual conference.

Mr Nowak and other union leaders have signalled their displeasure with Labour's plan to remove the winter fuel payment from 10 million pensioners.

While the union chief doesn't explicitly mention the change, he does tell the auditorium: "Let me say up front, we won't always agree with the new government on every issue.

"But we know Keir Starmer and this government have the interests of working people at heart in a way that the conservatives never did and never will."

Mr Nowak does give the new government his support - and mocks Conservative politicians for losing their seats in the election.

He says the TUC will "work with the new government to rebuild our public services".

Attacks on 'Putin apologist' Farage

Mr Nowak moves on to attack Reform UK and its leader Nigel Farage.

The TUC general secretary says: "Nigel Farage isn't a friend of the working class.

"He's a fraud.

"A public school educated, private equity loving, NHS privatising, Putin apologist fraud."

But he does tell the hall that he doesn't "believe for one moment that most of those who voted Reform at the last election are racist".

A "bus revolution" will save vital routes and put passengers first, the government has said, as it unveiled new measures which include plans to further support franchising.

The legislation, which will be laid out before parliament on Monday, will give all local transport authorities new powers to run their own bus services.

Only metro mayors at the moment can control services in this way.

It will be presented in the form of a statutory instrument, meaning it does not need to be passed by parliament.

The government has also launched a consultation on simplified guidance hoping to speed up processes and reduce costs for local leaders looking to bring services into public control.

Known as bus franchising, this model involves local authorities granting private companies the right to operate in a specific area but keeping control over key aspects.

This could include routes, timetables and fares.

According to the Department for Transport, the annual total distance travelled by buses in England has fallen by nearly 300 million miles since 2010.

The department plans to present a Buses Bill later in this parliamentary session to further support franchising.
