Wells Fargo and the Boston Consulting Group collaborated on a report that analyzes possible ways to redress economic imbalance within tribal communities by highlighting the wealth of economic opportunities for investment and value creation that achieving resiliency will bring. The findings shared through the Indian Country\u2019s Once-in-a-Seven Generation Opportunity report offer a framework designed to empower leaders and decision-makers to act on customized recommendations mapped against an opportunity\u2019s resiliency potential, feasibility for implementation, and cultural fit.<p><\/p>\r\n\r\nBy analyzing longstanding economic and social inequities facing Native American communities, the Indian Country\u2019s Once-in-a-Seven Generation Opportunity report has identified what could be done to secure future economic resiliency while providing a decision-making framework, pathways to progress, and recommendations to drive economic progress in tribal communities. Once these foundational barriers are addressed and the pathway to progress is implemented, Indian Country can embrace economic resiliency and a prosperous financial future.&#8221;\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/nafoa.org\/navigator\" role=\"button\">Read More in the Navigator (page 115-117)<\/a>\r\n\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"h5-responsive sub\"><EM>5.
