Development in Indian Country
by Stephen Cornell and Miriam Jorgensen

Prepared as a background white paper for the recently heldNationalNative
American Economic Policy Summit (see page 4), this report defines
what economic development means and howit applies in Indian Country;

debunks some of the myths and misconceptions about economic development
in Native nations; suggests policy options for both Indigenous
nations and the federal government; and calls for better ways to measure

Organizing Indigenous Governance in Canada, Australia,
and the United States
by Stephen Cornell
In Aboriginal Policy Research: Moving Forward, Making a Difference (Volume IV),
edited by J.P. White, S. Wingert, D. Beavon, and P. Maxim. Thompson Educational
Publishing, Inc.: Toronto, pp. 159-70 (2007)
This paper is an early product of an ongoing, comparative research project on Indigenous
governance in the United States, Canada,Australia, and New Zealand.
Focusing here on the first three of these countries,Cornell examines the recent rise of
governance as an Indigenous issue and raises a number of research and policy matters
related to the comparative analysis of Indigenous governance. He summarizes some
preliminary findings and lays out a further research agenda that could benefit both
Indigenous and non-Indigenous policy-makers.

NNI’s associate director for research, Miriam Jorgensen, was lead author of a recently completed study, Borrowing Trouble: Predatory Lending
in Native American Communities, conducted for the First Nations Development Institute and funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
The report provides new data on the incidence of and opportunities for predatory lending activity in Indian Country and offers
recommendations on how Native nations might limit the activities of predatory lenders. Options include assisting borrowers who are already
engaged with such lenders, educating consumers on how to avoid predatory lenders, and shutting down predatory lending through regulation
and legislation.
