IABS Chapter 7: Native Entrepreneurship
Approaches to entrepreneurship and enterprise development in Native communities are as diverse as the communities themselves. There are over 560 federally recognized tribes in the United States, with populations ranging from a few hundred people to nearly 200,000.
Some tribes own a large land base, the most notable being the 17-million-acre Navajo Nation, and others only own a few acres of ancestral homeland. The geography
of federally recognized Indian tribes also differs — some tribes, such as the Salt River Pima Maricopa, have a reservation very near a large metropolitan area, and other tribes, such as the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, are located in very remote rural areas,
isolated from markets and services. Still other reservations, such as the Flathead Reservation of the Salish and Kootenai bands, are challenged by a large non-Native population residing on the reservation who dominate the local private economy. (Download copy)
