Native Star, Inc. is a niche consulting firm founded by Thomas Steirer, a member of the Tonawanda band of Seneca - Turtle clan.
Our mission is to empower tribes through economic growth and diversification while also keeping a sharp eye on expenses.
Thomas, our founder, has gained the experiences of working in a leadership role at the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco, investment banks on Wall Street (held Series 7, 63, 66 licenses), commercial banks serving tribes, then working directly and indirectly with dozens of tribal nations throughout Indian Country as both a direct consultant, informal advisor, tribal enterprise board member and entrepreneur. These varied experiences have enabled Thomas to conceptualize unique opportunities that may be a good fit for your tribe's economic diversification goals.
Our team of strategic partners are proven experts in their respective fields. We advise clients in these areas:
Consulting for renewable energy development including engineering, construction and !financing!
Lowering energy costs dramatically through multiple unique (and rather clever) technologies
Advising on developing a tribe's forest resources and assisting to market their own timber products
Let's compare notes on what your tribe is considering.
We will offer our resources and connections in our dynamic business network and see if there is a fit.
At the very least, let's stay in touch and share ideas... you never know.
