Financial assistance that tribal organizations provide to their members is critically important now more than ever because of hardships brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Social services programs that provide financial assistance to tribal members such as clothing grants, technology grants, academic achievement awards, TANF programs and per capita distributions are important benefits to the health and well-being of many Native American families. The challenge for every tribal office is providing timely delivery of financial assistance in an efficient and cost-effective way while at the same time assuring that the funds are spent in accordance with the programs’ social services intent, (e.g., clothing grant funds are spent on clothing).

The expansion of tribal sovereignty through education is frequently overlooked. Tribes often lack the capital or other resources to start tribally-owned schools—an extremely costly endeavor that does not typically generate much revenue. But those challenges did not stop dedicated Comanche Nation citizens, descendants, and supporters. Utilizing a unique Oklahoma law that allows tribes to be the direct authorizers of tribal charter schools, the Comanche Nation is increasing its ability to define and create its own educational goals for its children.

There are many considerations when protecting property, employees and covering liability exposures, especially since they are not a one-size-fits-all risk model. Working with a trusted broker on key risks to design an insurance program around those risks is critical. Property, liability, and workers' compensation policies should be uniquely crafted to protect tribal assets, while considering cultural preferences. A Tribal Workers' Compensation (TWC) program should be selected without sacrificing the ability to determine its level of coverage. Entities can avoid the fraud and abuse that's prevalent in state systems through a sovereign TWC program. There are several workers’ compensation carriers serving Indian Country, so your broker should provide multiple options to ensure you aren’t paying too much. It’s a best practice to get a new quote annually. With the upcoming October 1 renewal period, it’s worth your time to compare and save on your insurance premiums.
