First Americans to Launch Tribal Life Insurance Trust by Jason Gill, First Americans Insurance First Americans Insurance has been working exclusively with Tribal Governments and their related enterprises since 1977. During this time, First Americans has seen the unique needs and desires of the Native American community change. However, one thing has remained constant: the strong desire for each tribe to strongly protect their sovereignty and their enrolled members. As a result, we were the first firm to develop insurance products and companies specifically designed to address tribal needs. First Americans Insurance Group, Inc. provides property and liability insurance and First Nations Compensation Plan, Inc. provides workers compensation benefits for Tribal Governments and tribally owned enterprises. We are continuously searching to find products and service to help address the needs of the Native American Community. As a result, First Americans Insurance Service, Inc. in conjunction with the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska has developed a "Tribal Member Life Insurance Trust" that provides life insurance benefits from an "A-Excellent" rated life insurance company with benefits ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 to ALL enrolled members. There have been several insurance programs that have tried to address the unique needs of tribal nations over the years, however, no insurance company has been able to provide a program that was able to sustain the longevity a program such as this requires. In addition, few of those programs have addressed the administrative or financial concerns that either the Tribe or their membership had concerning both premiums and the payment of benefits. Simply stated, insurance companies didn't understand the administrative challenges a tribe may face or the moral obligation and commitment Tribal Governments have for their enrolled members.
