Native Insight: Thoughts on Recession, Recovery & Opportunity is a writing competition crafted to tap the wisdom and ingenuity of our Native communities, and encourage Native thinkers to go public with their perspectives on the current economic and political landscape.
 

 
We invite all Native individuals or collaborative teams to submit their 500-1,600 word original written work addressing one or more of the following questions:
 
 
1. How can the Native community best participate in the process of economic renewal? What unique contributions can we make to help jumpstart the US and international economies?
 
 
2. Are you confident that economic growth will be restarted in 2009/2010? Describe your views on how the economic recovery will take place.
 
 
3. How must our economy change to fully recover from this economic crisis? What additional steps do President Obama and the Congress need to take to make these changes happen? How can Native Americans step up to help make these necessary changes and build sustainable economies?
 
 
All submissions must be accompanied by an official competition entry form, available for download here or by mail upon request. Please read the competition rules thoroughly before submitting your entry.
