The Tribal Exchange project is facilitated by the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) to help promote financial literacy for Native American youth. By learning economic, math and financial literacy skills, students who participate in the Tribal Exchange will be better prepared to lead their communities and Indian Country toward a bright and prosperous future. The Tribal Exchange will run for 10 weeks (Sept 28-Dec 4) and is open to American Indian students in grades 4 through 12. Teams may be formed in classes or in school clubs and programs. Each team is given a hypothetical $100,000 to invest. The team that increases the value of the investment the most during the game wins, but all participants learn valuable financial and team-building life skills. The project uses The Stock Market Game(tm) program. First, second, and third place teams will be awarded prizes! This is an incredible opportunity for students and teachers to participate at no cost. Teachers should register as early as possible to review the teaching materials available online and to begin training for the program. Teachers and other adults may act as advisors to the students either in the classroom or after school. No prior experience in the stock market is necessary. Webinar trainings will be offered to prepare advisors. Additionally, support is available via the Help Desk link or by emailing the SMG Coordinator directly.
