About
Native nations and their tourism alliances tell their own stories, run their own tours and publish their own event calendars. Native Nations is a front door to that work. It lists every federally recognized nation and sends you straight to the pages each one publishes.
What you’ll find
For every nation: the name in the federal list, the states it’s in, its tribal government headquarters and its official website. Where a nation or its tourism alliance has them, links to tourism pages, cultural centers, events, powwows and tours.
What you won’t
Descriptions, photos or event listings copied from other sites. Sacred or ceremonial places. Homeland boundaries or migration routes; for territories, see Native Land Digital.
How listings are kept right
Federal facts are refreshed from the Federal Register and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Tourism links are confirmed with each nation or its tourism alliance before a listing leaves draft, and links are checked on a schedule. Any nation can ask for a change or for its listing to be removed, and the Library will make it.
Every link out carries a tag so partners can see how many people the Library sends their way.

The first listings are being built with the North Dakota Native Tourism Alliance and North Dakota’s five nations.
