The National Post features the Osoyoos Indian Band, “arguabley the most business-minded First Nation in Canada” and investigates the secret to their success.
The article looks into the various ventures and strategies of the Osoyoose Indian Band, including property taxation. “The band also asserted control over the taxation of non-native companies leasing land on the reserve—taxes formerly scooped by the province. It was a small initiative, but it added $750,000 in annual revenue.”
