Indigenous Peoples Exchange and Economic Cooperation Act This bill requires certain agencies to facilitate contacts and cooperation between federally recognized tribes and Indigenous peoples of other countries in the Western Hemisphere.

The strategy must promote and facilitate (1) cross-investments and export opportunities between tribes and Indigenous peoples in tribal businesses and commercial enterprises that involve Indigenous peoples, and (2) the development of supply chains for U.S. entities that include certified products produced by tribes and Indigenous peoples.
