      abstract = {This paper reviews the literature on economic development  as it relates to indigenous
people in the United States and  Canada, and focuses on how institutions affect  economic
development of reservation and reserve economies.  Evidence shows that strong
property rights to reservation  and reserve land and natural resources, whether communal
or  individual, are and always have been important determinants  of productivity.
Political and legal institutions that are  perceived as stable and predictable to tribal
members and  to non-Natives also improve economic opportunities for  indigenous
people living on reservations and reserves.  Research reviewed here also shows that
culture and  acculturation are important in the development process.  Although our
emphasis is on North America, the findings are  applicable to indigenous people in
other parts of the world  and shed light on growth questions that loom large  for
developing countries around the world.},
