Travelers not only read about the history and traditions for each site,
but maps, photos, illustrations, addresses and websites are also
included to help further exploration. This book lets the reader choose
from a vast array of "authentic" adventures such as dog sledding,
camping in a tipi, hunting and fishing expeditions, researching the
history with the people who made the history, making crafts, herbal
walks, building and sailing in canoes, hiking along ancient routes,
exploring rock art, and preparing and eating Native foods. Organized by
region, Indigenous enterprises are included in state and federal parks,
including federal and international heritage sites, public and private
museums and non-Native events that include Indigenous voice. This
convenient reference also has a helpful bibliography and an extensive
index, adding to its usefulness. Whether traveling by car, plane, or
armchair, Native American Landmarks and Festivals: A Traveler's Guide
to Indigenous United States and Canada will bring hours of enjoyable
discovery.
