MISSION, South Dakota – Jillian Waln has given this speech before.
The Rosebud Economic Development Corporation isn’t like other companies, she’s told potential investors.
Its primary aim isn’t to make money and benefit stockholders, she’s told tribal leaders.
REDCO exists to improve the lives of Rosebud tribal citizens for at least the next seven generations, she’s said countless times before.
On Tuesday, the young Lakota woman gave the speech to an audience of one – U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
“With every decision that we make, we’re always looking to the Seventh Generation and how the work that we’re doing is going to impact the future,” said Waln, community engagement coordinator for REDCO.
