PABLO — The motto for business strength on Indian reservations and the communities is, “You got to keep the dollars in Indian country,” said Margo Gray-Proctor, Osage member and President of Horizon Engineering Service in Oklahoma.

Proctor, who is known as the “Indian Oprah” because of her reputation in Indian Country as one of the best entrepreneurs to emerge in the last decade, was the keynote speaker last Wednesday at the Indian Business Development Expo sponsored by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
