The "Native" part of the site name refers to the fact that they are a source for seeds traditionally grown by Native American farmers and passed down as seed stock. They are effectively heirloom varieties with specific traits that allow them to grow in the environment where the tribal suppliers live.

If you read any of the seed descriptions you can tell that most seeds are sourced from plant varieties developed by specific tribes.

I'm not sure why they should be expected to include "American", "US", "Arizona", or "USA" in their domain name when discovering this fact is as easy as loading a web page.

Just think about all the other web sites out there with domain names that give no indication of where they might be located and the gibberish names they bought for themselves.
