Standing Rock Sioux Tribe: Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

Author
Year

A Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is the outcome of a regional planning process designed to assess current conditions and guide the responsible economic growth of an area. It includes an analysis of factors that account for a community’s current economic state, identification of critical issues and economic opportunities, a clear vision statement, specific strategies to achieve community goals, and an implementation plan which ensures community and stakeholder participation at every level. The successful implementation of a CEDS results in economic growth through capitalization on current strengths, utilization of community resources, and improvements to labor, infrastructure, health, education, and housing. This is achieved while protecting natural resources and the environment, resulting in a higher quality of life for community members. The CEDS process, repeated every five years, is manageable means to achieving enduring economic health. It maintains, strengthens, and revisions long-term economic goals over decades by apportioning them into practical and attainable projects which create real and visible solutions to immediate problems.

Good Food is Power: A collection of traditional foods stories from the Ramah Navajo Community, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and Tohono O'odham Nation

Year

This report explores the traditional foods movement through the lenses of three traditional foods programs: the Ramah Navajo Community, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and Tohono O’odham Nation. These stories were originally gathered by the University of Oklahoma’s American Indian Institute (Wesner, 2012), to be featured on the organization’s Wellness in Native America blog. The programs in this report were interviewed along with three other tribally-supported traditional foods programs from the Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association, Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, and the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium. While each of these programs is unique and diverse, they share in common the Traditional Foods Program, an initiative supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP). Although the author is currently working with the NDWP on a compendium of traditional foods stories, the stories in this report were compiled prior to this partnership.

In 2009, the Secretary of the Interior and the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs established a High Priority Performance Goal (HPPG) to reduce violent crime by a combined 5% within 24 months on targeted tribal reservations. The selected reservations were Rocky Boy’s (Montana), Mescalero (New Mexico), Wind River (Wyoming), and Standing Rock (North and South Dakota). By the end of 2011, the strategies implemented and practiced by the law enforcement agencies operating on these reservations resulted in a combined reduction of violent crimes by 35%. This handbook is a compilation of the strategies that were instrumental in achieving and surpassing the goal...
