HEALING TRIBAL ECONOMIES FINAL UPDATED PROGNOSIS FOR ECONOMIC RECOVERY FROM COVID-19 IN INDIAN COUNTRY FEBRUARY 2021

To our clients and friends in Indian Country and all working to improve the economic future for Native American people: KlasRobinson Q.E.D. is pleased to present the accompanying update of our June white paper and September update entitled: “Healing Tribal Economies – Updated Prognosis for Economic Recovery from COVID-19 in Indian Country." With the passage of eight months since our original report and a full year since the pandemic first hit the U.S., we have much more information on the behavior of the disease itself and of the government officials, business leaders and general population in response. The pandemic is not over. In fact, it may yet spike again due to mutations in the virus and the time necessary to vaccinate a sufficient number of people to finally constrain it. The toll had been horrific and the time to fully recover economically and psychologically will be significant. Nevertheless, a practical end to the crisis atmosphere and worst restrictions is in sight. As a result, we expect this to be the last update of our prognosis and prescriptions to be required. Our hope continues to be that this work will provide tribes with more than simply another set of predictions, but also the analytical discussion to be able to draw their own conclusions in developing plans for their people and adjust those plans over time as new >Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Page 10 Page 11 Page 12 Page 13 Page 14 Page 15 Page 16 Page 17 Page 18 Page 19 Page 20 Page 21 Page 22 Page 23 Page 24 Page 25 Page 26 Page 27 Page 28 Page 29 Page 30 Page 31 Page 32 Page 33 Page 34 Page 35 Page 36 Page 37 Page 38 Page 39 Page 40 Page 41 Page 42 Page 43 Page 44 Page 45 Page 46 Page 47 Page 48 Page 49 Page 50 Page 51 Page 52 Page 53 Page 54 Page 55 Page 56 Page 57 Page 58 Page 59 Page 60 Page 61 Page 62 Page 63 Page 64 Page 65 Page 66 Page 67 Page 68 Page 69 Page 70 Page 71 Page 72 Page 73 Page 74 Page 75 Page 76 Page 77 Page 78 Page 79 Page 80 Page 81
