Blue Stone Strategy Group is Grateful to Welcome Henry Cagey to the Team

With his almost thirty years of experience in protecting Native life both socially and economically, Blue Stone Strategy Group has the privilege of welcoming Henry Cagey to our team as a new Senior Strategist.  Throughout the years, he has helped shape many federal policies for the Lummi Nation including economic development, health, housing, natural resources, transportation, and education.

Jamie Fullmer, Chairman/CEO of Blue Stone Strategy Group said “Blue Stone appreciates the wisdom and knowledge that Chairman Cagey brings to us, and we believe that it will increase our overall quality of services and also allow us to continue to provide relevant leadership and support to our Tribal clients.  We are grateful to have Henry become part of the Blue Stone team”.

Cagey has held such positions as a Lummi Natural Resources Enforcement Officer, the Director of the Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance and the Director of the National Center for American Indian Economic Development, and currently is President of the National Tribal Development Association and Chairman of the United Indians of all Tribes Foundation.

Henry “is excited to join the Blue Stone Team, and looks forward to using his experience and knowledge of Tribes to fulfill Blue Stone’s mission”.  He feels “that Blue Stone satisfies the need for advisory services in Indian Country, and will greatly benefit Native Peoples”.

Through Cagey’s accomplishments, we can see he will bring great knowledge to Blue Stone.  Among his many successes, he has secured funding of $3 million for the Lummi Nation Assisted Living Center, and $7.3 million for the Lummi Shore road project, not to mention the $250 million in secured federal funding over the last 16 years for Lummi Nation projects and program needs.  Most recently in 2010, he has secured a $28 million USDA loan for Tribal Administration, as well as a $3.4 million Dislocated Fisherman’s Grant.

Henry is here to “get things done for Indian Peoples, and will continue to give his full effort to helping Native communities accomplish their goals in improving Native lives”.

Cagey has been acknowledged for his accomplishments throughout the years.  In 1998 he was awarded the Whatcom County Human Rights award, and received the Who is Who award three years in a row in 1996, 1997, and 1998.

Among working on the National, State, and Tribal levels, he has been a husband for 27 years with three daughters and one grandson.
