No, not a reference to a tired and emotional broker who won’t be quiet, but a reflection of one of the minor joys of working for a US firm.
We all receive circular emails from time to time punting some sort of ‘must have’ service. Most of them are pretty pedestrian and more or less pointless or inappropriate. So this one that landed in my inbox today rather leaped out at me, entitled, as it was:
8 Issues When Doing Business or Contracting With Native American Tribes
And it then went on to evangelize on the benefits of joining their course:
There are more than 500 federally-recognized American Indian tribes in the United States, each established under a constitution unique to the tribe. Each tribe, through its constitution and subsequent legislation, has developed its own laws and regulations addressing issues of contracting, jurisdiction and waivers, if any, of sovereign immunity. Individuals and entities seeking to do business with and/or contract with one or more tribes must become familiar with the laws and regulations of each tribe when preparing to engage in business with the tribe. However, there are also basic tenets of American Indian law that can be applied to all aspects of doing business and/or contracting with individual American Indian tribes. This teleconference is designed to provide you with the tools to recognize the uniqueness of each American Indian tribe while applying the basic tenants of contracting with these same tribes.
It sounds fascinating, and having long been an admirer of Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, I’d love the chance to work in this field. But it seems unlikely, given the distance from Lime Street.
No jokes about “siouxing” people, please.
