Open Textbook: Building a Competitive First Nation Investment Climate [Tulo Centre of Indigenous Economics]

It is an open text book in two ways. First, anyone can use it as a resource on how to create the administrative, fiscal and legal framework to support markets on First Nations and in some cases tribal lands. Our purpose is to help tribes and First Nations fill these gaps preventing us from participating in the economy. Our purpose is to provide the knowledge and skills to develop our laws, establish our property rights, generate independent revenues to build infrastructure and lower the costs of doing business on our lands. We want to learn from and share our successes.This text is also open because we invite comments to improve and enhance it.
