MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDINGAugust 2nd, 2000
FiledAugust 2nd, 2000This major commitment of energy at Pine Ridge brings into focus President Clinton’s promise to all Indian nations. The lessons learned here as a result of this effort will be applied throughout Indian Country and serves as an incubator of best practices, such as accessing non-traditional financial resources, the development of new financial products, and the establishment of a new type of not-for- profit organization to assist the tribe with developing and rehabilitating homes owned by tribal members. The Department is providing significant amounts of technical assistance toward this effort, and will share the lessons learned at Pine Ridge with all Native American clients.
