SUMMARY
Even if all goes as forecast, tribal economies are facing continued pressure throughout 2020 with a gradual and somewhat uneven recovery over the next two years. Eventually, however, recovery and renewed growth will occur. We recognize and would gladly welcome that for Indian country as a whole and certainly for individual tribes and regions, declines may prove to be less severe and/or less prolonged than predicted in this report. We also recognize the possibility of and devoutly hope to avoid declines that are more severe or longer lasting due to worse than assumed effects from the pandemic itself, government action or inaction or any of a number of factors discussed in this section. By calling out areas of concern or vulnerability to fluctuations, we hope to equip tribes with the ability to monitor their own conditions as well as national trends to make necessary adjustments as the real effects of the pandemic and associated mitigation efforts become apparent.
