Posted by Jerry McNulty on 11/29/24 10:57 AM

In a world where the finance industry often seems dominated by a select few, this Native American History Month we wanted to shed light on those that are underrepresented, the Native Americans. Native Americans have made significant contributions to finance, challenging stereotypes and advocating for economic empowerment within their communities.

In this blog, we'll explore the stories of five Native Americans whose innovative thinking, leadership, and dedication have left an imprint not only on the finance sector but on American history for their people. While these five are not the only Native Americans to have made and continue to make their mark on the financial industry, we feel these five are some of the most important and impactful.

You will be given just a brief description of their impact, but you can click each individual's picture to find out more about them and see their whole story. Now let us delve into their inspiring journeys and the legacies of these great men and women.
