Native American Bank

Native American Bank VISION - THE trusted Native owned national bank committed to meeting your financial needs, as well as the financial needs of your business and your Nation.

Native American Bank is a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has $200 million in assets and operates nationally. In 2001, Twenty (20) Tribal Nations and Alaskan Native Corporations set out with a dream "to create a national bank to serve all Native people, communities, governments and enterpris

es across the country" and established Native American Bank, N.A. (NAB). NAB recognizes that among the many issues facing Native Americans, the absence of access to financial capital and services has been a significant impediment towards the realization of self-sufficiency and financial freedom across Indian Country. Chartered as a national community development focused bank, Native American Bank is also a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). NAB is committed to being a self-sustaining CDFI and is the only nationally Indian-owned community development bank in the country.

Our fifth Shareholder Spotlight focuses on The Mohegan Tribe. The earliest clans of the Delaware Tribe included the Wolf clan, or Mohegans, who settled in upstate New York. After migrating to Connecticut this group became today's Mohegan Tribe.

Since time immemorial the Mohegan – “Wolf People” – lived throughout what is now known as the Hudson River Valley and southern New England. The beginning of their vision statement is as follows: “We are the Wolf People, children of Mundo, a part of the Tree of Life, our ancestors form our roots, our living Tribe is the trunk, our grandchildren are the buds of our future.”

Today, the 2,400 member Mohegan Tribe is headquartered on the Mohegan Reservation in Uncasville, Connecticut. The Mohegan Tribe is a positive force for the regional economy, contributing $500 million annually in goods and services purchased from 720 Connecticut businesses.

Native American Bank is truly grateful for the support of the Mohegan Tribe as one of our shareholders and we look forward to many more years of our successful partnership. If you’re interested in learning more about the Mohegan Tribe, you can explore their website here: www.mohegan.nsn.us

One of the ways we’re celebrating our upcoming 25th anniversary is our “Shareholder Spotlight” series, which provides our audience with a snapshot of the 29 Tribes, Alaska Native Corporations and Tribal Enterprises that make up Native American Bank’s shareholders.

Our fourth Shareholder Spotlight focuses on Ho-Chunk, Incorporated. The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska started Ho-Chunk, Inc. in 1994 to help its people by creating jobs and diversifying the Tribe’s revenue. Their mission has since evolved to create both an economy and middle class on the reservation – measurably improving life in less than a generation. The traditional name for the Winnebago people is Hochungra, often shortened to Ho-Chunk, so Ho-Chunk, Inc. is translated as: “The People, Incorporated.”

Since time immemorial the Hochungra – "People of the Sacred Voice" – lived throughout what is now central Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Their name comes from an oral history that states they are the originators of the many branches of the Siouan language. Today, Ho-Chunk, Inc. is based on the Winnebago Reservation in Winnebago, Nebraska, where they continue to successfully increase the quality of life for their people.

Native American Bank is truly grateful for the support of Ho-Chunk, Inc. as one of our shareholders and we look forward to many more years of our successful partnership. If you’re interested in learning more about Ho-Chunk, Inc., you can explore their website here: www.hochunkinc.com
