NATIVE         STAR

Economic Empowerment for Tribes

About us

 

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:

  • Guiding 8a construction firms to rapid growth in the federal construction market
  • 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

  • Restructuring a healthcare model to potentially save millions while improving a tribe's healthcare system
  • Reducing a tribe's healthcare expense by lowering pharmaceutical and medical diagnostic testing costs (with Native firms!)
  • Transitioning to environmentally (and budget) friendly commercial cleaning supplies and even developing a distribution firm

 

LET'S TALK

 

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.
