Native Entrepreneurship South Dakota’s Nine Reservations
This report examines common barriers to Native entrepreneurship in reservation communities, the entrepreneurial climate and small business development activity on each of the state’s nine reservations, and a range of recommendations for federal government agencies, state government agencies, Tribal governments and Native CDFIs to consider in their efforts to grow and support Native entrepreneurs in reservation communities.
Furthermore, it provides a deep look into how nine rural reservations have employed differing approaches to business development and the effects these varying approaches have had on the success of Native entrepreneurs and economic conditions for the broader Tribal communities.
