In self-definition there is empowerment, and our guests benefit from that expression; historic and contemporary realities that are preserved and shared in the oral tradition.   And so we contribute to that most ancient of communicative patterns that binds us all - the human dynamic that allows us to relate to one another as human beings. There is laughter, pain, joy, beauty, love, loss and triumphs and tragedies. We are alive! And we will welcome you to travel with us to lands of outstanding beauty, to appreciate ancient cultures, and to interact with Peoples of astounding spirit.

We pride ourselves on taking small groups of visitors/guests - not “tourists”- to build bridges between Indigenous and non-Indigenous cultures, in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Our journeys were initiated in consultation with tribal elders, spokespeople, and elected tribal council members, and we have become renowned for the way we conduct them. We were advised that by taking small groups, our tour members have a better chance of “touching the earth,” of hearing, learning, and understanding. In this spirit sacred rock art sites are preserved, sacred sites are protected, and the impact of places like Sand Creek and Wounded Knee are communicated in the context of events and consequences rather than as 'tourist attractions'.

Our policy is to stay in tribally owned and operated accommodations and businesses where possible, and as members of the Indian Arts and Crafts Association we ensure that our tour members have the opportunity to buy arts and crafts directly from Native artists in the Indigenous community; not only is this good economically for the individual artists and wider community, it is great for our tour members, as Indian art reflects Indian culture, and our guests truly receive an intimate window on Native culture when they interact with the artists. So, from employing Indigenous people, to staying in tribally owned accommodation, all the way through to ensuring that we fill our vehicles with gasoline from stations on the reservation, we contribute to the local, tribal economy.

So by now you are beginning to get the picture of what Go Native America is about, but here’s the important bit - you can travel with us knowing our fair trade philosophy and ‘green’ policies are routine to us; we work that way all the time, and simply by traveling with us you are making a contribution to Native American communities - which is why we are nominated by Responsible Travel in 2006 and 2007, and why we have been recommended by Tourism Concern for almost a decade. When you travel with us you can relax and enjoy your time, knowing that we are constantly working to be sure that you have a unique experience - a fun, inspiring and enriching journey, that impacts tribal communities in positive ways.

FAIR TRADE ETHICAL TOURS in Native American
Indian Country
Go Native America was in the vanguard of initiating Tribal tourism on the Northern Plains.
While some have written that we 'pioneered' the movement, in reality, we were among a handful of dedicated individuals and businesses that shared a common belief.

Go Native America engages only indigenous people to guide our guests, thus providing indigenous
people with a platform to
define themselves according
to traditional beliefs and
cultural imperatives.

Experience culture, history, native philosophies, indigenous art and music and watch the thunderous stampede of Tatanka at the Buffalo Round-Up. This tour also includes a native cooking class.
The sacred reality of the stone Spirit Wheel high above the Bighorn Basin on Medicine Mountain began with the wisdom of one man who carried a spirit wheel lance in 500 BC and led his people from the darkness to the light.  A spirit, it seems, was called into the wheel of stone on Medicine Mountain and there it still lives and breathes, so still they come, not knowing why, from the four corners of the earth to touch something of that time long ago that still lives within them.
Follow the Niitsitapi, the Blackfeet people, from Montana into Canada across the Medicine Line - a name historically steeped in equal measures of mystique and irony …for what man had the right to divide the land and how could a seemingly invisible line do that? Travel this fabulous land where natural wonder is all to the Blackfeet cultures.
Join our special family tour on the well-beloved Black Hills to Yellowstone route. From the grandeur of America’s Serengeti, Yellowstone, to the pine-studded serenity of Paha Sapa, the sacred Black Hills, listen for wolves, look for bears, hear indigenous stories and gaze to the constellations wherein lies the map of the Plains Indian summer ceremonial journey. Be  immersed in beauty, native culture and the indigenous phenomenon

In Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley where the snow-covered landscape is home to wolves, at dawn and dusk we seek the twilight hunter and listen for the mysterious music of his song.

For those who want to stay a little longer, take opportunity to travel through the mystical Monument Valley and Canyon De Chelly – jewels in the crown of Navajoland
There is no greater piece of art than Mother Earth herself. Indigenous peoples have integrated arts into their everyday life through the millennia - think of quill and beadwork for personal adornment, decorated parfleches for storage, historical record keeping in ‘Winter Counts’ etched in hide, and petroglyph/ pictographic images enlivening rock walls.  In 2012 the materials and techniques may have changed, but not the sentiments.   We all originate from tribal peoples. So take this path toward the artistic expression of what lies within you and the beauty of Mother Earth
Enter the world of the Cheyenne, the Morning Star People. Your travels through culture, history and places sacred to the Cheyenne nation culminate in a powwow experience at the time of a true ‘Blue Moon’ a sacred phenomenon where two full moons appear within the earth’s rhythmic cycle of 28 days and some say, an esoteric blue haze
All cultures on this planet acknowledge rock and on this special journey with Jhon Goes In Center as our Lakota guide, we attempt to decipher human and ecological codes in the beauty of the Bighorn Mountains, the serenity of Wind River Canyon, and the immense splendor of the Tetons. We savor the sights and sounds of Powwow on the Arapaho Reservations and traversing plains, mountains, desert and canyons we search out the ultimate in lasting memories.
