This is crucial to the success of our mission; to level the financial playing field for all Native American Tribes and to offer the very best service to its institutional customers," said Don Lyons, Founder & CEO of NativeOne Financial Holdings, LLC the parent company of NativeOne and a member of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians.

"It is our goal to hire, educate and integrate Native American financial professionals into our organization who can bring a high level of financial services to the historically underserved Native American investment community."
