FOCUS ON INDIGENOUS TRIBAL NATIONS
NEW PATHWAYS TO SHARED PROSPERITY
In December 2022, the Center for Indian Country Development (CICD) at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis hosted its annual research summit focused on tribal nations, Unlocking Our Full Economic Potential. Tribal leaders. federal policymakers, and academic researchers explored a range of policy issues and innovative approaches to promoting economic prosperity in Indian Country. A panel on lending practices highlighted access to credit and financial services as an especially acute concern among tribal nations, with panelists emphasizing the role of native CDFIs in creating ladders to equity by developing unconventional approaches to financing tribal entrepreneurship, small business, and home ownership.
A unique feature of the research summit was tribal storytelling by Jack Gladstone, Montana Turtle Island Blackfeet troubadour.
