Harvey and Southwest Native Tourism

Along with the Indian Department, Minnie Harvey Huckel proposed the idea of a museum at the Alvarado Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The Fred Harvey Company paved the way for Native American tourism in the Southwest. Prior to the creation of the Indian Department, Native peoples took advantage of train stops on their reservations as an opportunity to sell their goods to passing travelers. With the creation of the Indian Department, Native Americans became employed as salespeople and demonstrators at Harvey Hotels across the Southwest. Finally by 1925, “Indian Detours” were offered from train stops. The Detours traveled to various Pueblos as a way for tourists to see Native American culture up close.
