🌟Last month, American Indian Alaska Native Tourism Association (AIANTA) and Brand USA hosted a six-day Familiarization Tour (FAM) highlighting the 2026 centennial of Route 66 and opportunities to engage in Indigenous tourism along the way. Journalist Eilish Vicencio-Heap wrote an inspiring story with the Travel Courier and Baxter Media about the experience. See below for an excerpt and check out the full article linked below!

🚗 Beginning in Las Vegas and traveling through Arizona and New Mexico, the FAM focused on immersive experiences in the Indigenous communities along Route 66, the historic highway that follows the path of an ancient Indigenous trade route.

🌎 The itinerary ranged from braving the cantilevered Grand Canyon Skywalk and walking among fossilized dinosaur tracks to viewing ancient petroglyphs and riding a cable car up Albuquerque’s Sandia Mountains. Participants enjoyed local cuisine such as a traditional Hopi dinner and Navajo tacos, met artists on the Hopi Arts Trail including basket weaver Iva Honyestewa and silversmith Duane Tawahongva, and visited landmarks like the Cameron Trading Post, Window Rock Tribal Veterans Park and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center.

💡The trip demonstrated how tourism, executed responsibly, can yield benefits beyond economic prosperity by playing a role in cultural preservation, as well as the importance of relationship building in changing perspectives and increasing allyship. As Tony Skrelunas, executive director of the Navajo Nation Division of Economic Development, told the group, “conscious tourism helps save our culture.”

The Diné Weaver Who Turns Microchips Into Art

Fourth-generation Diné weaver and math teacher Marilou Schultz was commissioned by Intel to create a weaving of a Pentium microchip in 1994. This spurred Schultz on a 30-year path of exploring new technologies through weavings -- digital graphs, QR codes and four other microchips. Her works are being shown in including Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction on view at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) through September 13.

🔗

Marilou Schultz, a math teacher and fourth-generation weaver, pushes the boundaries of the art form by combining technological aesthetics and Diné techniques.
