As the local government within reservation boundaries, tribes are responsible for determining which business enterprises may be licensed, which economic activities are to be permitted by individuals and corporations and which are to be tribally-managed. Tribal governments are responsible for regulating all land uses and to assess the environmental impacts of development proposals. In fulfilling these responsibilities, tribal governments constitute the primary authority charged with safeguarding the public good and protecting the tribal community from any harmful practices of private business. At the same time tribes strive to create an environment in which legitimate business and commerce may flourish. Tribal governments have the authority to impose taxes on economic activities and business transactions in order to generate revenue for public services. They must also fund the development of physical infrastructure such as roads, utilities, etc. Tribes take on the role of community development which includes construction and maintenance of public housing, schools, health care facilities, public recreation and cultural preservation. In this course, we will examine how tribal governments balance these complex and challenging roles in the context of cultural compatibility with the values and traditions of the tribal community and integration of the Tribes role within the surrounding non-tribal communities and external public land management agencies. Learning Objectives: As a result of their assigned readings, writing assignments and class discussions, students will gain: Insight into the costs and benefits of different governance models and structures for development and management of tribally owned business. An understanding of the formulation and effective implementation of a tribal economic policy. This includes the role of economic development and community planning, options in the use of the tribal resource base, impacts of the regional economy within which the tribe is situated, and the relationship, if any, of cultural concerns to economic policy considerations. An ability to distinguish tribal fiscal policy considerations from economic policy and to identify factors relevant to a sound tribal fiscal policy. An understanding of the components of effective and balanced tribal community development including how to analyze tribal infrastructure needs. Ability to understand the role of Tax Agreements with the State and surrounding local governments and to analyze and critique existing tax agreements.

Assume that you are the tribal planner. You have been asked to prepare a report for consideration by the tribal council regarding an economic development proposal that will have major impacts on the tribal community. (You devise and chose the fact situation. Examples include: creating a trade zone on the reservation, investing $20 million in a destination resort hotel and golf course, building a 100 unit apartment complex and condo next to the tribal headquarters, or, a similar project.) Assume that there is a preliminary business analysis that the project would be successful from the perspective of profitability. Your report should help the council identify relevant economic collateral and fiscal policy factors that must be taken into consideration as they analyze potential impacts of the proposal you have selected. You will also take into account Demographic factors such as education levels within the tribal community, vocational preferences, job location and wage levels. Be creative in adding details and circumstances regarding the situation you are analyzing in order to address economic policies, fiscal policies, and, if appropriate to your case, cultural policies and their impacts. Consider Guyettes book and your readings from Prof. Millers Reservation Capitalism in developing your plan. What conclusions do your policy considerations lead you to recommend to the tribal council? Your paper should be at least 8 pages including at least one page for references. Assignment 2. Response papers for class seminar on Susan Guyette.

Requirements: Due to the demands of our intensive weekend format, students are expected to participate in all classes unless they have given advance notice based on necessity as mutually agreed upon by the student and their faculty. In the event of a necessary absence, students are expected to make arrangements with their seminar faculty for in-lieu assignments covering the material missed during their absence. Be advised that faculty may also make an academic determination that makeup work is not feasible and reduce the amount of credit awarded for this course. Failure to complete assignments adequately or in a timely fashion or unexcused absence may also result in reduced credit or critical comment in the faculty evaluation of the student. Late papers and work will be accepted only at the discretion of your faculty seminar leader. If work is turned in late, turn around time for returning such papers with faculty evaluation may accordingly be off schedule. When students are not able to keep their appointment for evaluation meetings at the end of the quarter, they are responsible for providing timely notice to their faculty and for rescheduling the appointment. Students are required to complete self-evaluations and faculty evaluations for each course. Self-evaluations will be submitted in accordance with new procedures as directed by the college. Having respect for others is fundamental to having open, educational dialogue. All students are expected to support and contribute to a well functioning MPA classroom learning community.
