Tribal Economic Development Monitor

Tracking the issues, programs, incentives, and "lessons learned" affecting Tribal economic development.

Tribal Economic Development Monitor, news you can use.

We include posts here at Tribal Economic Development Monitor from time to time, about significant issue, practical ideas, and benchmark economic development projects in Indian Country. At times we also include similar posts from StoneCreek Partners and Adventure Entertainment, which SCP Tribal Consultants is a part of.

Our economic development monitoring also includes tracking tribal (and pueblo enterprises, and government grand and other funding sources. Information about these other economic development monitoring activities is included on this website. Many Native American tribes (and pueblos) have propelled themselves into next stages of economic development, now including additional forms of direct investment, co-investment, and even the placement of funds in passive investing formats. The success of Tribal SBA 8(a) businesses adds to the many options for advancing tribal economic sovereignty.

We welcome your contributions and ideas for economic development activities to track as part of this Tribal Economic Development Monitor. We can be reached through the Contact form on this website.
