Abstract: Economic development, and social change in general, is a multidimensional and institutional process.  An argument is offered that the patterns of indigenous institutional autonomy, the presence or absence of market values and institutions, access to markets, and the constraints of external bureaucratic control play key roles in understanding the possibilities of sustained and beneficial market participation among American Indian nations.  In the way of introduction, the arguments are traced through the literature and examples given from history and policy.  A case study is provided which traces economic, cultural, and political change among the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians
