Go Native America, as its name implies, specializes in introducing people of all ages to Native American culture. Visit sacred sites, hear Native American stories, and learn a history missing from most school books. The day tours - Badlands, Black Hills, Wounded Knee, Little Bighorn and Devils Tower - are ideal for families with kids aged 8 and up. These individual adventures are fully customized experiences enabling you to establish an itinerary that best suites your interests. All Native American Indian tours are guided by knowledgeable and experienced Native Americans. Of note, the multi-day tours for which the company is best known are tough going for kids under 15 years of age. They involve significant travel, do not offer activities especially designed for children, and rarely include kids.
