Tribes nationwide are seeking ways to develop sustainable economic growth, but opportunities to do so are often governed by federal policy. Ryan Smith moderates a conversation between Sarah Walters and Sarah Auchterlonie in which they discuss methods for developing economic opportunity within tribes, such as tribal lending. By addressing how tribes’ financial interests are intertwined with federal regulation and policy, like the CFPB’s underwriting rules and the U.S. Department of Labor’s enforcement of ERISA and the PPA, Walters and Auchterlonie provide a roadmap to solving issues impacting tribes doing business across the country.
