The successful development of vibrant and sustainable economies in Indian Country continues to present challenges for Indian tribes, tribal governments, their citizens and potential business partners, as well as federal, state and local governments. The unique legal status of Indian tribes and the consequences of that status inform these challenges and require a detailed examination of federal policy and Supreme Court jurisprudence.
