 Determinants of Development Success in the Native Nations of the United States

by Jonathan B. Taylor, 2008

[diné] [english] [español] [português]

This report summarizes the elements of success for Native nation building, based on more than two decades’ research by the Harvard Project for American Indian Economic Development at Harvard University and Native Nations Institute for Leadership, Management, and Policy (founded in 2001 by the Morris K. Udall Foundation and The University of Arizona).

Specifically, the report suggests that successful Native nations share three essential characteristics: (1) they assert the nation’s powers of self-rule; (2) they build strong institutions of self-government to backup those powers; and (3) they root their development efforts and institutions in Native culture.
