In NAFOA's debut episode, Executive Director Cory Blankenship delivers five concentrated minutes of what's moving Indian Country forward. From two landmark U.S. Treasury rulings securing historic wins for Tribal economic sovereignty, to Capitol Hill testimony calling out broken federal programs, to the reintroduction of the Tribal Tax and Investment Reform Act — plus a celebration of the next generation of Tribal finance leaders. No pulp. Just the good stuff.
