The Bureau of Indian Affairs is promoting industrial development in Indian communities to create job opportunities for American Indians and provide new perspectives for American business and industry. They offer abundant, trainable labor, on-the-job training, access to raw materials, plant financing, and technical aid. Indian reservations offer mineral, forest, and agricultural resources for development, and have potential as market sites. Financial assistance and technical services are available to aid in plant establishment. Testimonials from companies like Harry Winston, Inc. highlight the success and willingness of American Indians to work in industrial settings.
