“Balancing Tradition and Innovation in Our Native-Owned Enterprise
Navigating a Native-owned company involves maintaining a delicate balance – honoring our home traditions while committing to the responsibilities of our company. Mateo and I take immense pride in our ability to provide employment for members of our community. We also deeply value the capacity to accommodate our employees' needs, especially when it comes to their participation in traditional customs and obligations.”
