TERO means different things to different people. In order to understand TERO it is important to look at the following two definitions:

The Conceptual Definition: The TERO concept is a tribal self-determination, self-help and sovereignty based Indian and Native employment rights initiative.

The Program definition: The TERO program is a tribally established and operated Indian/Native preference enforcement and compliance program.

TERO is designed to require all employers operating within the Exterior boundaries of the Gila River Indian Reservation to give preference to Indians in employment. We are to prohibit any covered employer from using qualifications criteria, or other personnel requirements that serve as barriers to Indian employment unless the employer can demonstrate that such criteria or requirements are required by business necessity.

TERO requires employers to give preference in the award of contracts or sub-contracts to tribal and other Indian owned firms and entities.
