Many National Park Sites in the United States commemorate the contribution of the Native American culture(s). The term ‘Native American’ includes all cultural groups that predate the arrival of either western European explorers/settlers or east coast explorers and settlers. In this sense, Native Alaskans of both arctic and sub-arctic cultures are included with the American Indians of the continental United States. Native Hawaiians are included as the traditional cultures of the islands.

Many sites were created specifically to preserve the remains of cultures that no longer exist, such as Mesa Verde National Park
