Friday, September 20, 2024 – Studies show major tribal economic impact
Manage episode 440954720 series 3353579
A new study finds the five federally recognized tribes in Idaho contribute some $1.5 billion to the state’s economy every year. Another new study finds the economic impact of Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians alone reaches $1 billion for that state’s annual total bottom line. Both studies echo similar research over the years in other states that show tribes are major players in their states’ economic viability. And the sources aren’t just gaming — categories like construction, tourism, government operations, and education are major economic contributors.
GUESTS
Ann McCormack (Nez Perce), economic development planner for the Nez Perce Tribe
Tralynna Scott (citizen of the Cherokee Nation), chief economist for Cherokee Nation Businesses and special envoy to the U.S. Department of Treasury
Andrew Huff (Cree enrolled at Rocky Boys), senior policy and legal advisor to the Center for Indian Country Development at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis
Steven Peterson, clinical associate professor in economics at the College of Business and Economics at the University of Idaho
