Preserving history
Our businesses have helped us preserve our history by maintaining artifacts and recordings of our native language.



Helping our children grow
After-school programs, scholarships, healthcare, and tutoring for our children have all been funded in part by our businesses.

Self-sufficiency
Please send a message to your elected officials that ending the sale of untaxed tobacco not only violates centuries-old treaties but also handicaps us from reaching our goal of economic independence.

Helping our neighbors
Our smoke shops have helped us create other self-sustaining businesses that employ Indian and non-Indian residents and stimulate the local economy. Our coffee and wampum (beaded jewelry) businesses are only two examples of the economic stimulus we have brought to our neighborhoods.
