Entrepreneurship for American Indian Sustainability is an occasional course taught by AIPI Executive Director Traci Morris, Ph.D. It is offered through American Indian Studies and the School of Sustainability. The course was last taught in Spring 2017. However, it is a permanent pair of courses listed in AIS.
The Tribal Economic Leadership (TEL) Program is an executive education program providing professional development training opportunities for tribal leaders, tribal government professional staff, tribal members, tribal students, and governments to support the long-term economic sustainability of tribal nations and governments presented by Arizona State University’s (ASU) American Indian Policy Institute (AIPI).

I believe that a tribe's strength of financial systems is dependent on an educated workforce.
This program is packed with carefully curated, relevant content that varies from the history on Indian law and policy to recent changes in compliance requirements. I recommend it for all levels of financial managers, and especially for those who are new to their jobs or those who want to gain greater knowledge that will advance their ability to help their people and their career.
We are leading the discourse on tribally-driven, informed policy-making by:
- translating research and policy analysis into applied knowledge
- creating partnerships between academia and Indian Country
- serving communities via innovative capacity-building initiatives
- driving change through community embeddedness
AIPI’s expertise and focus is substantively on broadband technology and digital equity, with expertise in tribal telecommunications, communications policy, and newly emerging systems as they impact sovereign Tribal nations
In 2012 and 2013, the American Indian Policy Institute (AIPI) at ASU worked on the Tribal Indicators Project, which sought to carefully analyze and better understand the applied uses of U.S. Census data with American Indian Studies and the Center for Population Dynamics.
Overview of the Project
Between 2012 and 2013, the ASU American Indian Policy Institute and Labriola National American Indian Data Center partnered with the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA) in documenting its legacy of service to Tribes in Arizona. The first phase of the project focused on the gathering of historical documents from archives within Arizona and the cataloging of these and other documents at the ITCA offices.
