The Tribal Exchange
is a program for American Indian students that teaches valuable financial life skills and team building, as well as forming inter-tribal connections.

 

You don't need to be a financial expert. Lesson plans are easy to use, help is a phone call away, and the entire program is on-line.

About the Tribal Exchange

The Tribal Exchange will run for 10 weeks from September 26th to December 2nd. It is open to Native students in grades 4-12. Teams may be formed by school clubs or classes.

Each team is given $100,000 in game money to invest in the Stock Market Game program. The team that increases the value of the investment the most by the end of the game wins, but all participants learn valuable financial and team-building skills.
