Our History
A New Era for Natives
Don Lyons, Chairman of NativeOne is joined by several Native leaders from the USA and Canada to mark the first time ever a Native-owned Broker Dealer Firm rang the ceremonial closing bell on the NYSE marking the opening of NativeOne and beginning of a new era for all Natives.
“We are humbled to host the Navajo Code Talkers at the NYSE, the symbol of financial freedom that they helped protect and preserve,” said Donald Lyons, CEO and Founder of NativeOne Financial and a member of the California-based Morongo Indians.
"NativeOne aims to "level the financial playing field for all Native American Tribes and Canadian First Nations by offering the very best service to our institutional customers," Lyons said.

Carbon Credits
Faced with challenging timber markets, forest owners across North America are generating new revenue streams from forest carbon sequestration projects on their lands. Many tribal forestlands are prime candidates for these carbon projects, as tribal lands provide significantly more carbon, environmental, and social benefits than other private forests. Tribal practices and goals are often perfectly aligned with forest carbon projects that can generate immediate non-timber revenues ranging from $100 to $1,000 per acre. These projects can deliver significant long-term nation-building potential through member training, business development, and funding for priority infrastructure projects. Our team is ready to work with you to develop a program to pay you to preserve the forest
