Native nation economies have long been dominated by public sector
activities - government programs and services and tribal
government-owned businesses - which do not generate the same
long-term benefits for local communities that the private sector
does. In this work, editors Robert Miller, Miriam Jorgensen, Daniel
Stewart, and a roster of expert authors address the
underdevelopment of the private sector on American Indian
reservations, with the goal of sustaining and growing Native nation
communities, so that Indian Country can thrive on its own terms.
Chapter authors provide the language and arguments to make the case
to tribal politicians, Native communities, and allies about the
importance of private sector development and entrepreneurship in
Indigenous economies. This book identifies and addresses key
barriers to expanding the sector, provides policy guidance, and
describes several successful business models - thus offering
students, practitioners, and policymakers the information they need
to make change.
American Indian business is booming. The number of American Indian-
and Alaska Native-owned businesses increased by 15.3 percent from
2007 to 2012-a time when the total number of US businesses
increased by just 2 percent-and receipts grew from $34.4 million in
2002 to $8.8 billion in 2012. Despite this impressive growth, there
is an absence of small businesses on reservations, and Native
Americans own private businesses at the lowest rate per capita for
any ethnic or racial group in the United States. Many Indigenous
entrepreneurs face unique cultural and practical challenges in
starting, locating, and operating a business, from a perceived lack
of a culture of entrepreneurship and a suspicion of capitalism to
the difficulty of borrowing start-up funds when real estate is held
in trust and cannot be used as collateral. This book provides an
accessible introduction to American Indian businesses, business
practices, and business education. Its chapters cover the history
of American Indian business from early trading posts to today's
casino boom; economic sustainability, self-determination, and
sovereignty; organization and management; marketing; leadership;
human resource management; tribal finance; business strategy and
positioning; American Indian business law; tribal gaming
operations; the importance of economic development and the
challenges of economic leakage; entrepreneurship; technology and
data management; business ethics; service management; taxation;
accounting; and health-care management. American Indian Business
also furthers the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives in the study
of American business practices in general and demonstrates the
significant impact that American Indians have had on business, as
well as their cultural contributions to management, leadership,
marketing, economic development, and entrepreneurship.
