访问加州已经启动了一个动态 新内容体验, 参观加州本土, designed to showcase the state’s Native American 社区 within a tourism context. The program was first announced in September at the site of the future 阿瓜卡连特文化广场 在市中心 棕榈泉. 该内容中心于2023年3月7日首次亮相.
“访问加州 is honored to create a platform that showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Native Americans who have called this place home for thousands of years,拜访加州总统 & 首席执行官卡罗琳·贝塔说. “We’re committed to partnering with California’s tribes and creating spaces to uplift and honor their voices, 社区, 和文化.”
的文章, 照片, 视频, 播客, and social media posts that comprise this 系列 will cover a wide range of Native American experiences available to travelers, from museums and cultural centers to Pow Wows to guided adventure tours. 作为这项计划的一部分, 访问加州 is forging connections with the state’s 109 federally recognized tribes and inviting them to share their stories with travelers looking for unique experiences within the Golden State.
“As the state with the highest population of Native Americans, 也是全国主要的旅游目的地之一, California is poised to drastically boost national Native tourism promotion and interest with this undertaking,雪莉·鲁珀特说, CEO of the American 印度n Alaska Native Tourism Association (AIANTA). “We’ve seen the economic benefits that come from uniting under a common banner, but more importantly we see the power of cultural tourism to support preservation and perpetuation of our culture. This is a tremendous opportunity for California’s tribes.”
With traditional homelands stretching from the redwood forests in the north to the desert along the Mexican border, Native American culture in California is both abundant and diverse. While many travelers are familiar with the beautiful resorts and casinos operated by the tribes, they may not be aware of the myriad ways to experience both California’s 印度n past and the dynamic, 该州印第安人的现代生活.
访问加州本土内容 系列 旨在弥合这一差距. At launch, the hub spotlights tribal tourism experiences currently available to travelers. 访问加州也与 出外集体, an organization that includes a diverse community of outdoor-focused creators, to create a custom video 系列 that showcases Native tourism experiences. Outbound tapped a diverse creative team that includes Lauren Begay, a California-based Native rising filmmaker who works for MTV’s Social Impact team and Urban Native Era, 和Sanjana Sekhar, an 印度n-American filmmaker and regenerative communicator.
在接下来的几个月, 参观加州本土 will showcase prominent individuals within the state’s Native American 社区—including artists, 作者, 烹饪创新者, 和更多的. 在那之后, 部落简介的广泛收集, 与每个国家的成员共同制作, 将完善加州本土平台.
在这个持续的过程中, 访问加州 is placing special emphasis on handing the microphone to Native Americans and empowering them to tell their stories on their terms. 访问加州 will also strive to be a key nexus point for anybody seeking more information about Native American tourism experiences, providing links to additional resources ranging from the AIANTA主页 对于这个迷人的 部落土地的互动地图.
