Now may not be the best time to invest in the stock market, but it is an ideal time to learn about it. That’s what some Native American students are doing through the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Tribal Exchange program.
The pilot program, a vessel of the Stock Market Game (SMG), is only available to tribal schools and Native American organizations. It teaches students the basics of critical thinking, decision making, cooperation and communication through stock market investment.
A handful of tribal schools, federal agencies and national organizations are participating in the program. They are divided up into teams, with each team given a hypothetical $100,000 to invest as it chooses.
The program ends on Oct. 10. The top three teams will receive awards at NCAI's 65th Annual Conference and Tradeshow in Phoenix, which runs Oct. 19-24.
