After studying Tribal Gaming and Tribal Economic Growth last semester, I now recognize what can potentially make a tribe financially successful in the long term and what will not.. Tribes already have the odds against them.. I hope that this does not lead to more temporary fixes in just creating jobs, but Nation Building where tribes can become self-sufficient.. “Native communities experience substantially higher rates of poverty and unemployment than mainstream America and face a unique set of challenges to economic growth. Lack of physical, legal, and telecommunications infrastructure; access to affordable financial products and services; and limited workforce development strategies are common challenges that Native entrepreneurs, homebuyers, and consumers face and must overcome.”
