Trusted Advisor on the Complexities of Native American Law
There are more than 570 federally-recognized Native American tribes in the United States, spanning approximately 55 million acres of land. There also is unprecedented interest by investors and entrepreneurs in commercial development, natural resources, energy and development projects on tribal land.
Historically, Indian country practice did not reach into capital markets or commercial real estate. However, Indian country has experienced an economic development awakening, which has created a need for capital, a heightened interest by investors and entrepreneurs in Indian country and a commitment by tribes to create 21st century, sustainable economies. This, coupled with intense interest in developing sources of renewable energy and federal government incentives for doing business with tribes, has created even more opportunities with tribes and on tribal land.
