Often a hot button issue across Indian Country, per capita payments have inspired an abundance of debates, politics, and research since their inception. Do they harm cultures and communities, or do they ultimately help tribes and individuals thrive? Our panelists will discuss the pros and cons of per capita payments, including their impact on tribal communities – both the “good” and the “bad” – in hopes of highlighting best practices and balanced approaches that focus on the sustainability of both governments and individuals. Hear from our panelists during Tuesday's General Session at NAFOA’s 37th Annual Conference. |
