Tribal Consulting
Management Consulting and Professional Services
Many Leaders of Native American Indian tribes have a huge
responsibility when establishing and enacting tribal policy. Tribal leaders
must understand a wide array of complex and critical issues, including
education, health care, housing, social services, public safety, natural
resources, business, and economic development. C3 provides research and analysis to help tribal leaders make informed decisions
about these and other issues facing Native American tribes. I have analyzed
social and economic conditions of tribes—including education, health,
employment, housing, poverty, and income—in order to help tribal leaders
determine areas that may warrant further investigation and remediation. We
conduct comparative analyses over time to identify trends and compare tribal
conditions to relevant benchmarks to identify disparities.
I have studied public policy and assisted tribal
governments, businesses, and associations to understand the economic impacts of
various types of public policies, including legislation, regulations,
government programs and services, taxes, and ballot propositions. We also
provide testimony on behalf of our client before tribal and non-tribal
political and regulatory bodies.
We also provide media strategy and a social media marketing
for your Native American business. Please contact us for more
information.

Fellows Program
The Fellows Program is an 11-weekend adult education program
which includes both strategy and practical training on a variety of topics. For
example, strategic focus is placed on self-assessments, vision and values,
ethics, and coalition building. Practical training includes public speaking,
television and radio interviews, fundraising, polling, social media, budgets,
and debates. It is a comprehensive program.
The program is held in the spring and fall in each calendar
year. The classes are held in Greensboro and Raleigh. The Spring class
meets January to May, and the Fall class from August to December. Sessions
typically run from 4 PM to 8 PM on Friday and from 8:30 PM to 4 PM on
Saturday.
Participation in our programs is on the basis of leadership
