Many of us plan our vacations, at least in part, with some spiritual or patriotic motivations. It might be visiting and appreciating the grandeur of a National Park, what some have called “Nature’s Cathedrals.” It might be visiting a heritage or historical tourism park, like Colonial Williamsburg. Or it might be visiting a memorial, museum or commemorative site like the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. This course will look at eco-tourism and relations with Native American tribal groups who hold certain sites as sacred.
