Abstract: This study seeks to examine the nature of enterprises owned by Native American tribes or individuals. An original survey is utilised, using a convenience sample of Native American-owned retail, construction and service firms located primarily in the northwest USA. Likert-type questions involving tribal support and cultural issues are analysed. While the firms are not entrepreneurial by some researchers' definitions, within the Native American community small business strategies are entrepreneurial.

Keywords: Native Americans; business strategy; USA; United States; retail firms; construction firms; service firms; tribal support; culture; cultural issues; entrepreneurship; small business; indigenous firms. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
