Most American Indian reservations are islands of poverty in a sea
of wealth, but they do not have to remain that way. To extract
themselves from poverty, Native Americans will have to build on
their rich cultural history including familiarity with markets and
integrate themselves into modern economies by creating institutions
that reward productivity and entrepreneurship and that establish
tribal governments that are capable of providing a stable rule of
law. The chapters in this volume document the involvement of
indigenous people in market economies long before European contact,
provide evidence on how the wealth of Indian Nations has been held
hostage to bureaucratic red tape, and explains how their wealth can
be unlocked through self-determination and sovereignty.
