How it all got started

Presented By The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana

The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana is committed to promoting economic development and career development for the people of Louisiana. Chairman Marshall Pierite saw a desperate need for an event to bring together industry and the people of Louisiana. To this end, they created The LaRuE Development Summit to bring industry and economic opportunity to Louisiana. They continue to be the driving support and major force behind The LaRuE Summit. 

 The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe makes great strides to keep its culture and traditions alive. From the revitalization of the Tunica language to the many programs and events centered around Tribal traditions, Tunica-Biloxi members live out the motto – “Cherishing Our Past, Building For Our Future.”
