Dates
- 97th (1981-1983)
Scope and Contents
The Pawnee Tribe has been struggling to develop an Industrial Park on their reservation due to frequent changes in Tribal Council members, lack of clear delegation of responsibilities, and insufficient expertise in Industrial Park development. The Economic Development Administration Representative has set preconditions for continued assistance, including the creation of a Tribal Development Corporation with expertise in Industrial Park development. Establishing this separate entity is a common strategy used by local governments for industrial development. However, implementing this on Indian reservations may be challenging due to lack of successful models, understanding of delegation, and historical apprehension towards adopting unfamiliar practices. Successful implementation of the Tribal Development Corporation will require significant time and effort from the Tribal Council to understand and support its structure and functions.
