A comprehensive approach to tribal policy allows Indian nations to achieve the goals that they have set. On a daily basis, tribal leadership is faced with the task of managing challenges to sovereignty, mitigating outside forces that undermine potential for economic health and growth, social issues among tribal communities, and numerous other threats to the vitality of the nation and its people. Tribal leadership is expected to manage these issues while also planning for opportunity and growth.
