“Never in the history of the United States has the need for our Tribal governments, state governments and our Federal government along with our market place to come together and collectively choreograph our journey into the horizon of our future.

Because of this, the urgency to prepare our tribal youth in the arena of entrepreneurship is among the most important economic development challenges we face.

The development of our young entrepreneurs must stay abreast of our communities’ economic development plans.

The businesses of the future that have a vision and mission statement that is value based and everyone commits to living those values ethically, morally, and legally and all the while protecting their bottom line, develops a strong social awareness and consciousness to empower those in need, will become the brand names of the 21^st and 22^nd centuries.

This is the goal and dream I have for our tribal youth who choose entrepreneurship as their contribution to their communities.” – Billy Mills
