1. Native Lands
“Although each individual Native nation has a unique history with respect to land, all have struggled to protect their land base from non-Indian encroachment. Treaties, federal policy, legislation, court cases, and local actions have restricted the ability of Native nation to access and utilize their traditional lands. Tribes today are reclaiming land and increasing their capacity to manage lands both within and outside of Indian Country.”
The State of the Native Nations, The Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development
