Mr. McGowan is an enrolled tribal member with the Little Shell Band of Chippewas in Montana and was raised in Poplar Montana, the Tribal headquarters of the Fort Peck Tribe. He has served in many capacities in American Indian Tribal governments for the past 25 years. I had the privilege of starting my career as an environmental biologist with the Nez Perce Tribe in the salmon recovery and protection division of the tribe. In addition to the environmental experience, he is accomplished in directing Tribal enterprises within the federal procurement process and has contracted more than $20 million in Department of Defense procurements for Tribal businesses. Mr. McGowan provides tribal governments with business knowledge and expertise to positively affect tribal resources and self-sustainability.
