Challenges, Solutions, Success: Tell Your Story

With more than $3 billion in direct funding to tribes, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act offers Indian Country a unique opportunity to showcase the vision that tribal communities have for their future and prove that we are a good investment of federal dollars. This is also our opportunity to highlight the critical economic development and infrastructure challenges that we still face. Over the next several months, NCAI will be asking tribal leaders and community members to help us tell a story about Indian Country's challenges, solutions, and successes with the Recovery Act.

Please share your story in the boxes below. Your responses will be kept confidential.
