Montana summit aims to help economic growth on reservations – "Making It Work in Indian Country"

The time is ripe for economic development in Indian Country, according to national and tribal leaders at a conference in Billings this week.

The summit, "Making It Work in Indian Country," aims to connect tribal leaders and employees with each other and government officials so they can share successes and failures, support and opportunities, to build reservation economies.

This is the first economic development summit held in the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ Rocky Mountain Region, said Ed Parisian, the BIA director in Billings. It was sponsored and organized with assistance from the federal Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development and the Billings-based Native American Development Corp. and Montana-Wyoming Tribal Leaders Council.
