This conference takes a practical approach to Native economic development by teaching participants the legal framework behind the political status of Native Nations. It teaches the intricacies of doing business on reservations and suggests strategies that Native leaders can use to make their nations more attractive for private businesses. It brings forth a new method of economic development: international trade. This year, the conference will focus on what Native Nations should be doing to prepare themselves for engaging in international trade and becoming participants in the global economy.
Since the creation of the United States, the federal government has maintained control over Native trade, land, resources, and businesses. Consequently, many Native Nations have high poverty rates, high unemployment rates, stagnant economic development, and little to no private investment. A lot of conferences focus on how to protect Native Nations, recycling the same conversation and topics that have been heard for decades. This conference shifts the conversation from protection of Native people to empowerment by teaching Native Nations how they can use their sovereignty to create business opportunities, establish business friendly environments, and become participants in the global economy.
