7th Annual Re-Emerging Tribal Economies Conference — Aug. 4-5, 2011
7th annual Re-Emerging Tribal Economies Conference
Tulalip Resort Casino, Tulalip, Washington

Thurs., Aug. 4th, 12:25 – 1:25 p.m.
With various federally-backed economic and tax incentives, there has never been a better time for investment and development in Indian Country. With tribes needing to diversify Indian economies to minimize tribal reliance on Indian gaming, Indian Country looks to bring new industries to the reservation and also to joint venture with businesses off the reservation and abroad. In addition, the tribal private sector grows by the day, as Indian small and family-owned businesses take flight and permeate the tribal public sector and Corporate America. Come learn about resurgent tribal economies — where Indian Country is headed!
Raid on Listuguj Mi’gmaq First Nation Commemorated in Parliament – 30 Year Anniversary
On Monday, Philip Toone, the NDP Member of Parliament for Gaspésie-Île-de-la-Madeleine made a statement in the House of Commons commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the Listuguj raid.
Mr. Speaker, today is the 30th anniversary of Listuguj raids. On June 11, 1981, armed provincial police officers and fisheries officers raided that Mi’gmaq community, arrested residents and seized their boats in order to prevent them from commercially fishing salmon.
It was 30 years ago today, on June 20, 1981, that the provincial government ordered a second raid, but this time, the residents of Listuguj erected barricades to prevent access to their community. In 1993, the Mi’gmaq government drafted the Listuguj Mi’gmaq First Nation Law on Fisheries and Fishing.
We are celebrating this act of self-government. Today, the Restigouche River is known as one of the best-managed salmon rivers in the country. This demonstrates that it is possible for the Canadian and first nations governments to develop and maintain reciprocal, non-violent relationships that are mutually beneficial.
