With Indigenous tourism, you’re guided across the wilderness by tribes who know the lands best, with centuries of passed-down knowledge. A recommendation? Next time you plan a trip to the great outdoors, make it an Indigenous-led excursion. It makes sense why many travelers flock to national parks and monuments. It’s not a surprise that we’re attracted to vivid scenery, ecological wonders, and fields teeming with wildlife, or that we understand our relationship with the natural world through interaction. Etched in my head are memories of eating fresh Navajo mutton stew while listening to stories from my elders, splitting sagebrush 'till the oils spilled onto my hands, playing with the wet vermillion dirt outside during a thunderstorm, and staring at the wall of stars at twilight, free of light pollution. As a child I spent summers and weekends in Monument Valley, between the Arizona and Utah border.
