CLE Conference Treaty to Trust to Carcieri: The Economic Future for Indian Lands CLE Conference Thursday, April 28 & Friday, April 29, 2011 ASU Tempe Campus, Memorial Union
Tribes have a unique relationship with their land and community. A tribe’s land is a connection to its past and a key to its future. The land cradles their culture and history, but must also provide for current and future generations. Internal and external stakeholders debate the best use of the land. If tribes look to the federal government to help them protect their land, they also accept the federal government as a participant in their future economic endeavors. The speakers at this second annual Tribal Economic Development Conference explored the history of Indian lands, the current policy affecting their future, the cultural issues that must drive decision-making, and the impact of the recent Supreme Court decision Carcieri v. Salazar, which limited the number of tribes that could receive federal protection over their land, or have their land held in trust. Speakers analyze the economic impact of tribal land decisions, such as the costs and benefits of taking the land into trust. Other speakers share methods that have helped them find economic success on lands within their reservations. Couldn't attend?
