Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages.

Documents & ResourcesHow it Works:

  • Tribal Law: The TERO office enforces specific Tribal Employment Rights Ordinances (TERO).
  • Employer Requirements: Companies doing business on or near the reservation must comply with these preference laws.
  • Fees: A percentage fee on certain contracts often funds TERO’s training and development programs.
  • In essence, the Omaha TERO office acts as an advocate and regulator, ensuring the tribe’s economic and employment rights are upheld.
