How Comprehensive Community Planning Helps Tribes

Planning can empower tribal governments to make informed decisions about issues in their tribes based on discussions with stakeholders in their community.

It can ensure that issues are understood and that priorities can be agreed upon, and create an appreciation for how issues are related to each other.

When tribal citizens participate in the government’s planning process, it can help a tribe to unify around a particular goal. A cohesive and unified tribal nation can foster a stronger environment for economic opportunities for all segments of its society.
