Join us for an essential Equity, Inclusion & Diversity (EID) dialogue exploring the importance of cultural authenticity in hospitality design through the lens of Native American identity, tradition, and innovation.

In this powerful panel, three Indigenous leaders from across the architecture, design, and project management spectrum come together to share their insights.

Together, they’ll examine what it truly means to integrate Native American culture into the built environment — not as a visual motif or a trend, but as a living, evolving narrative rooted in community, place, and purpose.
From the importance of materials and symbolism to the risks of appropriation and the necessity of Indigenous leadership on Native projects, this panel will challenge conventional design frameworks and offer a roadmap for culturally respectful hospitality development.
