Abstract

Recent approaches to problems facing Native American reservation economies address practical solutions to the severe poverty and associated socioeconomic ills while recognizing cultural and sovereignty issues as opposed to simply listing the historical causes of these issues. This paper integrates some of the work completed in the last decade in order to understand the feasibility and processes of sustained economic development on Naive American reservations. Understanding development as a process, rather than a black or white phenomenon, leaves the planner with an optimistic vantage point on the possibilities of success. It is this process orientation that holds the focal point of this paper. Using the Rosebud Sioux Reservation as an exemplar, Jacobs's (1984) model provides a paradigm for the development process. Understanding the model puts us in a position to fully understand the development possibilities in Indian country as well as the problematic aspects.
