Native America Calling: Making more Native tourism connections

Making more Native tourism connections
The stage drama “Unto These Hills” — put on by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians — is celebrating 75 years of telling southeast American history from a Native American perspective. It is a major tourism draw every summer to the outdoor Mountainside Theatre on the Qualla Boundary in North Carolina.
One enterprising Navajo entrepreneur is helping out Southwest tourism destinations, connecting travelers with the places they want to go while tribal businesses can hang on to more of their money.
What better time than the Summer Solstice to look around at Native American tourism draws for the season?
