All Roads lead to Chaco - 2nd Annual

This  seems like an interesting conference about economic development.  


2nd Annual All Roads lead to Chaco Canyon Conference
March 13-15, 2019
Coushatta Casino Resort, Kinder, Louisianna

It would makes sense to locate the conference near the Navajo rez.  According to the conference website

This conference shifts the conversation from protection of Native Nations to empowerment by showing them how they can use their sovereignty to create business opportunities, establish business friendly environments, and become participants in the global economy. Moreover, this conference explores uncharted territory—international trade. The following topics are on the agenda:



  • Nation Building
  • Historic Tribal Trade and Economic Practices
  • Creating Private Sector Economies on Reservations
  • Removing Barriers to Entrepreneurship in Indian Country
  • Inter-Tribal Trade
  • Tribal-State Business Partnerships
  • Business Transactions and Enforcing Contracts in Indian Country
  • Native Nations Engaging in International Trade
