I know what it means to carry the decisions.
I know what it means to carry the decisions.
I served eight years as Treasurer of the Cherokee Nation. I understand the weight of financial decisions that affect an entire Nation, and what becomes possible when strong financial leadership is in place. I founded Native Advisory because Tribal leaders deserve world-class Native expertise around the table when the decisions matter most.
WHAT I BELIEVE
Native people should lead the solutions to Native problems. We are innately and intuitively built to do so. Tribal sovereignty is more than the right to govern ourselves. It is the capacity to solve our own problems, strengthen our own institutions, and shape our own futures. Native experts should lead that work.

THE EXAMPLE
Take the Chickasaw Nation, for example. The former Governor, Bill Anoatubby was an accountant. He knew the value of having professionals with financial acumen around him as he led. His accounting background plus surrounding himself with financial professionals and the best subject matter experts he could, helped him lead the Chickasaw Nation to unprecedented growth and expansion.
As a Tribal Leader and Executive, are you leading by this example?

MY STANDARD
I will tell you what I would do if I were in your shoes. I am direct because the decisions are important. I will not tell a Tribal leader what I believe they want to hear – I am not a “yes man” – I will tell them what I believe will make the Nation stronger. That candor comes from my lived experiences and pattern recognition of working with hundreds of Tribes and leading the largest Tribe in the U.S..
HOW WE WORK
Native Advisory is led by Lacey Horn and supported by a carefully selected team of Tribal subject-matter experts. Every engagement is led or overseen by Lacey. Additional experts are brought in because the work requires them, not to add layers, but to bring the right capability to the table.
EXECUTIVE RECORD
Licensed CPA, Big Four auditor and Former Treasurer of the Cherokee Nation, Eight consecutive clean audits. Budget growth from $600 million to $1.2 billion during her tenure. Leadership across Tribal government, healthcare, treasury, investments, capital, technology and governance. Board roles: Smithsonian, National Museum of the American Indian (Trustee, current) and former Chairwoman of the Native American Rights Fund.
