Tyler Miller

Tyler grew up straddling two worlds – spending school years in Anchorage and summers with his Tlingit grandparents learning traditional plant knowledge and navigation skills in remote southeastern Alaska. After earning his hospitality management degree and working for luxury wilderness lodges, he pursued a master's in sustainable tourism, which led to his consulting career helping properties balance luxury expectations with environmental responsibility. His blog began as field notes from consulting trips but evolved into a platform advocating for indigenous tourism perspectives after a transformative project helping a Tlingit community develop their own cultural tourism initiative.
