With tourism becoming the largest single sector of the global
economy it cannot but impact traditional societies in many ways,
both detrimental and beneficial. Nowhere is the history of the
tourist encounter between Native peoples and Euro-Americans as long
and as intensive as in North America. From the 1870s
transcontinental railroads and shipping routes along the Pacific
coast opened up the North American West for travelers, wishing to
get to know the spectacular country and its Native peoples. Leisure
travelers came in rapidly increasing numbers, first from the United
States and Canada, soon also from Europe, and more recently from
Asia. This volume is the result of the "North American Indian
Tourism" sessions organized during the 2014 (European) American
Indian Workshop held in Leiden, the Netherlands, from May 21-25.
The conference was hosted by the University of Leiden and the
National Museum of Ethnology (Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde; now:
National Museum of World Cultures). Most contributions address
developments from the late nineteenth century to the present. The
majority of the articles focus on the Greater Southwest, but the
Natives peoples of the Great Plains take central stage in several
contributions. Topics include: travels by Native Americans to
Europe, the variety of encounters between Dutch travelers and
tourists and Indians in Arizona and New Mexico, the role of the
Indian casino industry, the production and consumption of Indian
arts and crafts, tribal tourism policy, and the role of museums and
tourism in the staging of Indian exhibitions. Contents
