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.
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.
