Meet South Dakota’s Native Guides

South Dakota Native Tourism Alliance (SDNTA) works with Native guides from Tribal Nations across the state. Each guide brings their own lived experiences, cultural knowledge, and storytelling expertise—offering visitors a deeper understanding of the land, history, and traditions.

All SDNTA guides complete professional tour guide training to ensure every visitor experience is welcoming, respectful, and accurate. This combination of personal heritage and professional skill makes each tour unique.

Coming soon, you’ll be able to search for guides by region, tour type, and areas of expertise, and connect directly with the guide that best fits your interests. Until then, explore South Dakota with the confidence that your guide is both a cultural ambassador and a trained tourism professional.
