Native America Calling: Small business makes a big difference for tribal economies
Tuesday, March 12, 2024
Live from RES: Small business makes a big difference for tribal economies
Small businesses owners put their dreams and financial futures on the line when they open their doors for the first time.
In the process of improving their own skills and financial standing, they become building blocks for their tribes, providing jobs and circulating revenue within the community. The Navajo Nation just secured nearly $89 million toward promoting and supporting small business.
Join Native America Calling at the Reservation Economic Summit in Las Vegas to hear what that support goes for – and discuss other insights about the trends for Native small businesses.
