Our 3 Phase Process

Zion National Park handles nearly 5 million recreational visits every year. capturing even 5–10% means 250,000–500,000 guests to the N.A.T.I.V.E. Cultural Center. Let’s fascinate them with America’s original story. This center is designed as a multi-phase development, allowing the vision to expand responsibly and sustainably.

Part of our mission is to hire Native Americans for the village all the way from the museum to the native villages. And part of that we plan on educating them or supplying an avenue to educate them through colleges and vocational schools.

Phase 1: $1,500,000 — THE FOUNDATION: Where the Story Begins

• The core storytelling pavilion and a 12-building cultural village.

• Beautifully landscaped lakes and streams and shaded gathering places.

Phase 2: $9,500,000 — EXPANSION

• Multiple tribal environments, performance spaces, and deeper  historical exhibits.

• Museum, Gallery, Trading Post and Gathering place (Pow Wow Circle) 

Phase 3: $64,000,000 — NATIONAL LANDMARK

A full-scale destination campus including multiple tribal spaces,  festivals, education centers, and national curriculum partnerships.

• Each phase stands on its own.

• Together, they create a permanent historical cultural legacy.
