Native / Tribal
For Native American businesses, there are two primary requirements that must be met:
1. 51% Native American/Alaskan/Hawaiian Ownership
2. Federally Recognized Tribal Enrollment
As defined in federal regulations, a tribally owned business (concern) means any business (concern) that is at least 51% owned by an Indian tribe. An Indian tribe is any Indian tribe, band, nation or other organized group or community of Indians, including any ANC, which is recognized as eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians, or is recognized as such by the State in which the tribe, band, nation or community resides.
