The Tribal Tourism Grant Program just received a $1.4 million boon, according to an announcement from The Indian Affairs Office of Indian Economic Development this week.
The money will fund 10-15 projects for tribes working to plan, develop, and manage tourism and related infrastructure in support of economic development in their communities.
“Revitalizing Tribal economies and promoting Tribal self-determination are key to our aiding Tribes in their efforts to improve the quality of life in their communities," said Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Bryan Newland in a statement.
The grants are authorized under the Native American Tourism and Improving Visitor Experience Act, or NATIVE Act.
Proposals must be submitted by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on October 25, 2024. Details on how to apply can be found at https://www.bia.gov/service/grants/ttgp. Questions about this solicitation may be addressed to Mr. Dennis Wilson, OIED-DED Grant Management Specialist, at 505-917-3235 and by e-mail at [email protected].

Help us defend tribal sovereignty.
At Native News Online, our mission is rooted in telling the stories that strengthen sovereignty and uplift Indigenous voices — not just at year’s end, but every single day.
Because of your generosity last year, we were able to keep our reporters on the ground in tribal communities, at national gatherings and in the halls of Congress — covering the issues that matter most to Indian Country: sovereignty, culture, education, health and economic opportunity.
That support sustained us through a tough year in 2025. Now, as we look to the year ahead, we need your help right now to ensure warrior journalism remains strong — reporting that defends tribal sovereignty, amplifies Native truth, and holds power accountable.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Your support keeps Native voices heard, Native stories told and Native sovereignty defended.
Stand with Warrior Journalism today.
