Congress finds the following: In 2000, the Native American Business Development, Trade Promotion, and Tourism Act (Public Law 106–464; 25 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. ) identified the need for the Federal Government to promote long-range economic development of Indian lands. This law established within the Department of Commerce an office to coordinate Federal programs related to Indian economic development, promote the international trade and export of Indian goods and services, and conduct intertribal tourism demonstration projects.
To have additional impact, this law should be amended to expand Federal support for the economic development of Indian tribes and Indian lands. Recent fiscal priorities of the Federal Government have negatively impacted Indian tribes as well as others due to their dependence upon Federal funds. The Federal Government has a trust responsibility to Indian tribes and should support tribal-owned enterprises and Indian-owned businesses by preparing recommendations for Congress on improved statutory measures that support the development of sustainable tribal economies.
