Washington, D.C. – The Minority Business Development Agency and the U.S. Census Bureau today released new statistics that show American Indian- and Alaska Native-owned firms generated nearly $27 billion in revenue and employed 191,270 people in 2002.
Research for the Native American Entrepreneurship Report was conducted in order to examine the extent of entrepreneurial activity in Native communities and identify ways to increase such activity. A survey was sent to 70 diverse institutions that were identified as providing services to Native entrepreneurs. These included community-based financial institutions, tribal business information centers, Native American Business Development Centers, and tribal credit programs.
