BUSINESS ALERT

---

Business Alert, the flagship publication of First Nations Development Institute, is now entering its 17th year of publication. The Alert features articles on policy and legislation, 'how-to' guides, reviews of First Nations program and site activities, information on economic and financial activities affecting Indian tribes and individuals, and occasional notices of available resources. Because Native Americans have often been without timely information when opportunity knocks, a guiding editorial policy is to place information in Native hands that won't be found in the same depth elsewhere.

Business Alert is published every other month and is distributed to all tribes and inter-tribal councils free-of-charge and is available to businesses, organizations and individuals at a subscription rate of $12 per year. Back issues are available for $3.00 per copy. Click here for a publications order form.
