Who is the Montana Tribal Tourism Alliance?

MTTA is a non-profit, intertribal organization with the mission to improve and create tourism opportunities in the Montana Indian reservation communities to help foster healthy reservation economies. The objectives of MTTA include protecting the integrity and traditions of Montana’s American Indian cultures, providing marketing assistance and technical support to American Indians interested in tourism business, development of Tribal Ambassador Training, development of an American Indian service directory, website upkeep and the facilitation of meaningful contributions on behalf of the American Indian tribes of MT for the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Signature and Significant events.

MTTA headquarters are in Billings, MT and we have tribal representatives from each of the reservations in Montana.

Who will benefit from the Memberships to MTTA?

The Montana Tribal Tourism Alliance is 100% committed to supporting Montana’s American Indian communities. Proceeds from tribal memberships will be used to pay for a number of MTTA activities, including:

	Honorariums for tribal members who participate in MTTA inter-tribal encampments, including honorariums for drum groups, dance troupes and cultural historians.
	MTTA is dedicated to the promotion of American Indian cultural arts including music, drum groups, dancers, storytelling and traditional games. An important aspect of promotion and protection of cultural integrity is the respectful compensation for the efforts put forth by tribal members.
