The Center for Business and Public Policy recently welcomed Bianca Carpeneti for an engaging discussion on tribal government and nonmarket strategy. Drawing on her professional experience spanning multiple roles at the intersection of business and public policy, Carpeneti provided valuable insights into the complexities of tribal sovereignty and economic self-determination.

The conversation explored the unique political and legal standing of tribal nations, the role of economic sovereignty in strengthening tribal governance, and the importance of strategic partnerships in supporting rural and indigenous communities. Special attention was given to Carpeneti’s work with The Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, highlighting their government-to-government relationships, economic enterprises, and ongoing efforts to preserve cultural heritage while driving economic growth.

The discussion also addressed current policy challenges, including the implications of federal funding freezes on tribal programs, the evolving role of tribally-owned enterprises, and strategies for balancing economic development with cultural preservation.

Thank you, Bianca, for your time and expertise!
