Our Story

Our Purpose

In the modern era, perseverance requires dedication to self-determination and self-reliance. Because tribes lack the traditional tax base afforded to local, state, and federal sovereigns, the Tribe must pursue enterprises to secure funds for governmental operations. Centralizing the expertise of our employees in Habemco allows the Tribe to share the collective experience of the Tribe’s talented staff across the Tribe’s governmental and business enterprises as requested by the Tribal government. This approach permits the Tribe to nimbly direct resources to assist with existing business lines and develop new business ventures. The Tribe’s ultimate goal is to diversify and improve its economy while providing growth opportunities for our employees.

Self-determination and self-sufficiency are woven throughoutthe fabric of who we are as a Tribe and as a people.
