Abstract

By 2009, reverberations of economic crisis spread from the U.S. around the globe. As corporations across the U.S. folded, however, small businesses on the Qualla Boundary of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) continued to thrive.

Lewis's keen observations reveal how Eastern Band small business owners have contributed to an economic sovereignty that empowers and sustains their nation both culturally and politically.
