“Native nations are determined to design their own futures. I’m proud that the Center for Indian Country Development, based here at the Minneapolis Fed, informs these economic development efforts through high-quality research and analysis and events that bring experts and stakeholders together.”
—Neel Kashkari, President, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis

The Center for Indian Country Development (CICD) advances the economic self-determination and prosperity of Native nations and Indigenous communities through actionable data and research that inform public policy discussions.

As a research and policy institute headquartered at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, CICD supports the Minneapolis Fed’s mission to serve the public by pursuing a growing economy that works for all of us. CICD is grounded in the Federal Reserve System’s community development function, which has responsibility to help improve economic outcomes in low- and moderate-income communities.
