The 6 Best Native American–Owned Hotels in the U.S. - AFAR

"Perched in the northernmost town in the United States, this remote tundra hotel offers 70 rooms with panoramic views of the Arctic Ocean and decor that highlights Alaska Native art and local wilderness photography. Owned by the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, it serves as a base for exploring nearby Birnirk National Historic Landmark and North Slope borough attractions, with guided North Slope Tours that visit the Iñupiat Heritage Center and ancient sod-hut remains. Guests can also potentially see polar bears and can opt into daring local activities such as the Polar Bear Plunge into the frigid Chukchi Sea." - Carrie Back
