Tribal Economic Development: Episode 1 – Welcome to Tribal Economic Development
On the inaugural episode of Tribal Economic Development, we provide insight regarding how Waséyabek, a Tribally-owned holding company that manages the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi’s non-gaming economic development activities, established a pathway that has resulted in significant revenue growth over the past 5 years. Deidra Mitchell, Waséyabek president and CEO, and Erika Weiss, assistant general counsel, also offer an initial look into how Tribes can best position themselves for success along their journeys to economic diversification in Indian Country while previewing some of the content to be covered in future episodes.
