On this Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor the enduring strength and resilience of Native peoples, who have shaped this land through rich traditions, innovation, and community-building for thousands of years. Native entrepreneurship is deeply rooted in these traditions, from ancient trade routes to the diverse, thriving businesses we see today in tribal nations across the country. Despite facing centuries of adversity—displacement, systemic discrimination, and barriers to capital—Native entrepreneurs have persevered. Their resilience has led to a resurgence of Native-owned businesses that are not only creating jobs but also restoring economic sovereignty to our communities. These businesses represent more than just financial success—they are expressions of cultural preservation, innovation, and self-reliance. At Oweesta Corporation, we are proud to support this movement. As the longest-standing Native CDFI intermediary, Oweesta partners with Native Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) across the country to provide Native entrepreneurs with the resources they need—access to capital, financial training, and support. By strengthening Native economies, we are paving the way for future generations to thrive. Today, we celebrate the triumphs and successes of Native entrepreneurs, whose work continues to uplift our communities and honor the legacy of our ancestors. Together, we are building a future grounded in economic independence and cultural pride.
