With tribes needing to diversify their economies due to decline of traditional natural resources and to minimize reliance on gaming, tribes are challenged to develop sustainable tribal economies through expanded business diversification efforts and entrepreneurial progress. The sovereign status of federally recognized Indian tribes presents unique opportunities for business development, job creation, and economic diversity.
Indian Country looks to bring new industries to the reservation and also to engage in new joint ventures with businesses off the reservation and abroad. Come learn about resurgent tribal economies and the tribal tax and business development legal issues that are important to the continued growth of tribal economies.
