The federal recognition of an Indian tribe can have a tremendous effect on the tribe, surrounding communities, and the nation as a whole. Recognized tribes and their members have almost exclusive access to about $4 billion in funding for health, education, and other social programs provided by the federal government. Additionally, recognition establishes a formal government-to-government relationship between the United States and a tribe. The quasi-sovereign status created by this relationship exempts certain tribal lands from most state and local laws and regulations including, where applicable, laws regulating gambling. Many recognized tribes have opened casinos and other gambling operations some of which have developed into successful enterprises. In 1999, federally recognized tribes reported more gambling revenue than the Nevada casinos collected that year. As of May 2001, there were 5612 recognized tribes with a total membership of about 1.7 million. In addition, several hundred groups are currently seeking federal recognition.

The reported population of American Indians and Alaska Natives has grown rapidly over the past 20 years. These changes raise questions for the Indian Health Service and other agencies responsible for serving the American Indian population. How big is the population? What are its health care and insurance needs? This volume presents an up-to-date summary of what is known about the demography of American Indian and Alaska Native populationâ€"their age and geographic distributions, household structure, employment, and disability and disease patterns. This information is critical for health care planners who must determine the eligible population for Indian health services and the costs of providing them.

Indian tribes are among the most economically distressed groups in the U.S. In 2008, the poverty rate among American Indian and Alaska Natives was almost twice as high as the population as a whole -- 27% compared with 15%. Residents of tribal lands often lack basic infrastructure, such as water and sewer systems, and sufficient technology infrastructure. Without such infrastructure, tribal communities often find it difficult to compete successfully in the economic mainstream. This testimony statement summarizes observations on: (1) five broad categories of unique issues that may create uncertainty and therefore affect economic activity in Indian country; and (2) tribes¿ use of special gaming and small business contracting provisions. This is a print on demand report.
