Guest Opinion. As Indian Country welcomes in 2025 and the beginning of another massive change in political leadership in Washington, D.C., tribes must better position themselves for the rebuilding of the United States’ depleted infrastructure, while also positioning themselves to gain the economic benefits from developing their enormous amount of natural resources.
