To that end, the first half of this report will present a description of the Cherokee Nation today—describing both the government sector and its extensive provision of services to Cherokee citizens and the business sector. The business sector of the Cherokee Nation includes both gaming and retail enterprises (Cherokee Nation Enterprises) and industrial enterprises (Cherokee Nation Industries.) These various activities might best be described as the direct economic impacts of the Cherokee Nation.},

abstract = {The purpose of this project is to assist municipal governments better understand the economic implications of the expansion of tax-exempt tribal businesses into the sales tax-producing business sectors. The study focuses specifically on the Shawnee, Oklahoma (Pottawatomie County) region, a market area shared by the city with five tribes, and one that is experiencing rapid expansion of tribe-operated businesses. The study is likewise designed to help tribes better understand the economic impacts they exert on the local economy by expanding in the tax-producing retail sector versus other industry sectors.
The project is further intended to serve as a bridge for dialogue between tribal and municipal governments that might lead to stronger intergovernmental cooperation and more effective local area economic development. The ongoing expansion of tribal governments and tribe-operated businesses is changing the basic definition of local government in many communities as tribal and municipal governments become increasingly intertwined in the process of providing public services in the cities in which they operate. Tribes are assuming many of the functions traditionally provided by municipal government such as the development of infrastructure and public utilities. In lieu of providing services directly, many tribes make voluntarily tax payments to municipal governments and contribute in meaningful ways to provide local social services, medical care, and cultural activities.},
