Sustaining Action

Creating a successful project is difficult, but very important. Maintaining that project’s success is even more important. Maintaining a project’s success has many benefits. The project may provide much-needed jobs and revenue to tribal members and the tribe, respectively. But even more importantly, a project’s continued success signals to tribal community members that they can succeed as well. A successful project can give community members a concrete example that they can point to, as they undertake additional projects. A successful project, whether it be a new tribal-owned enterprise or an entrepreneurial business, dares community members to dream about the possibilities that lie before them.
