Financial Capability Programs in Native Communities

First Nations Development Institute has prepared a report on the financial capability strategies and programs currently serving reservation-based Native communities in the North West. As the report notes, financial capability strategies are one important component of a larger multi-faceted economic development strategy helping Native communities rebuild cultural, social and economic systems. The report provides a framework for understanding financial capability in Native communities, discusses promising strategies, and offers an overview of successful programs in the Northwest Area Foundation region.
