USA Today features Alaska Native-centered travel in Anchorage. Writer Dontaira Terrell visited on a research trip in summer 2026 with guidance from Visit Anchorage and spoke with Alaska Native leaders, artists, and business owners, including those featured in the article: Kelsey Wallace of the Alaska Native Heritage Center, Leon Kinneeveauk from Alaska Art Alliance, and Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers Co-op's Marie Texter.
Anchorage's "cultural significance goes far beyond its geographical size," writes Terrell. The Anchorage article on Alaska Native Cultural Tourism in USA Today was first published in the paper's Native Americans Special Edition in November, in recognition of Native American Heritage Month.
