🌟 TravelAge West Magazine recently showcased AIANTA's new Anza Historic Trail Guide, released through a collaborative effort by AIANTA, National Park Service Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail Program with support from Visit Arizona and Visit California.

"As AIANTA traveled the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail, we asked tribes what they wanted travelers to know and they said, 'We are still here,'" said Sherry L Rupert (Paiute/Washoe), CEO of AIANTA. "This historic guide is a testament to the resilience and strength of the Indigenous peoples of California and Arizona who, despite violence, displacement and being ignored, are still here and welcome visitors to their lands to share their food, art and culture. It's an honor to have collaborated with the National Park Service Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail Program, the Arizona Office of Tourism and Visit California on this monumental project that will be enjoyed for generations to come."

DuVal has already received the Bancroft Prize, the Cundill History Prize and the Mark Lynton History Prize for the book. The Wall Street Journal called the book “an essential American history.” Publishers Weekly said it was prodigiously researched. She traces a thousand years of Native history, showing how tribes have adapted to challenges, including the arrival of Europeans, but also climate change and conflict.

🌟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.”
