From the recovery from the Great Depression and World War II rose the idea of the gross domestic product (GDP). GDP has become the ultimate measure of a sovereign’s overall well-being. Many of USET Tribal Nation members are the largest employers in their areas and contribute millions of dollars to local economies, however, other than some industry specific examples, there has not been an available understanding of this macro level for the GDP contribution and of the economic impact of Indian Country.
