The Whitener Group

The Whitener Group Owners: Bob Whitener, Ron Whitener and Jennifer Whitener Ulrich.

We believe that sharing knowledge among tribes is one of the most important ways to achieve this. Our team wants to share our experience in Indian Country as well as bring together other great minds to advance our common goals. We seek to do this through individual contracts with Tribes, tribally owned businesses, tribal organizations and non-profits. We feel we can also facilitate continued advan

cement in Indian Country through creating unique and productive seminars, events and trainings that are industry and tribally specific. The Whitener Group also believes that assisting those corporations and organizations that want to work with tribes will help advance tribal objectives. Traditional organizations that have never worked in Indian Country sometimes need assistance navigating the legal and cultural frameworks of tribal communities.

Monday word drop! πŸ“£
This week's word: acquittal β€” what happens when the prosecution doesn't make it to "beyond a reasonable doubt." Not innocent, not guilty. Just… not proven.
