SUMMARY:No “Magic Words” Needed - What Tribes Need to Know about Bankruptcy in Light of the Supreme Court Decision in Lac du Flambeau v. Coughlin
DESCRIPTION:Last month\, the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians v. Coughlin\, holding that Native American tribes are not immune from certain bankruptcy court proceedings\, including the automatic stay provision of the Bankruptcy Code.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe case involved an online payday lending operation owned by a tribal government.  When a customer sought relief in bankruptcy court\, an appellate court and the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the tribe’s claims that sovereign immunity prohibited the customer from enforcing the Bankruptcy Code’s automatic stay against it.On July 27th from 1pm to 2:30pm Eastern Time\, NAFOA is proud to host a webinar. Attorneys from Navajo Nation and the law firm Sheppard Mullin will discuss what the ruling means\, what tribes should be aware of going forward\, and the impact this ruling will have on tribes going forward.  The webinar will cover: \n\n\n\n\nBankruptcy Basics\n\n\n\nBackground on Lac du Flambeau vs Coughlin\n\n\n\nImpact and Mitigation of the Lac du Flambeau vs Coughlin Decision

DESCRIPTION:Financial analysis is an area of opportunity and risk. Analysis should incorporate tests of sensitivity to changes in key variables using the most advanced tools available. Typical financial models do not effectively utilize these tools. This exposes the analyst to blind spots in their analysis. Analysts will want to obtain and become proficient in the use of the more sophisticated “what if” analysis tools of the trade.  \n\n\n\nJoin us on Monday\, November 7 at 2:00 pm ET for Forecasting with Excel’s Powerful Sensitivity Tools to understand Excel’s powerful sensitivity tools and get the full power out of your financial models. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Energy Access and Reliability on Tribal Lands Listening Session (external event)
DESCRIPTION:Register\n					\nThis virtual listening session\, hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Indian Energy\, will explore challenges and potential solutions related to energy access and reliability on tribal lands. The goal is to gather important insight directly from Native Nations regarding the current status of unelectrified homes and electricity reliability issues facing tribal communities.\nThe Energy Act of 2020 included specific requirements for DOE to conduct research and report back to Congress on these topics. In accordance with that Act\, the Office of Indian Energy is hosting this listening session to provide tribal leaders and staff from energy\, planning\, natural resources\, and other relevant departments the opportunity to make recommendations on the report.\nThis is a follow-up to the first listening session the Office of Indian Energy hosted in November 2021; however\, attendance at the first session is not a prerequisite to participate in this one. During this listening session\, the Office of Indian Energy will discuss the results of the questionnaire conducted during the first session and share findings from the report to date. Please note that there is a capacity limit for this listening session of 500 participants. Tribes and tribal staff will be given priority to attend if the capacity limit is reached. Register to reserve your spot. Once registered\, you will receive a calendar invite\, including a call-in number\, join link\, and other logistics in an email.\nFor more information on the first listening session\, please visit: https://www.energy.gov/indianenergy/energy-access-and-reliability-tribal-lands-listening-session
