This book was released on 1967 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aboriginal entrepreneurs are key to building a healthy economy on-reserve, providing jobs, and slowing the outflow of money and young people who are leaving to look for economic opportunities. This study explores the question: how can Aboriginal communities foster a supportive climate for Aboriginal entrepreneurs and business startup? The literature review finds a high degree of compatibility between the characteristics and strategies of community economic development and Aboriginal economic development. The unique aspects of Aboriginal economic development are further examined, including the history of Aboriginal communities, challenges faced, the importance of long-term approaches, cultural issues that impact Aboriginal economic development, and critical success factors. The review then addresses the question, "Do these differences affect the role the entrepreneur plays in Aboriginal economic development?" It makes the case that the prominence of the family and the overriding importance of cultural preservation require a different entrepreneurial behaviour. From this analysis, a series of research questions are developed and answered, using data from three First Nations communities: 1. What are the barriers experienced by Aboriginal people who attempt to start-up businesses in Aboriginal communities?; 2. What has been done in Aboriginal communities to overcome these barriers?; 3. How can Aboriginal communities assess their capacity to support Aboriginal businesses? Following the assessment process, the study examines the actions three B.C. First Nations would consider to support their community's capacity and readiness to include Aboriginal entrepreneurs in business start-up and growth. The findings reveal that the most pressing barriers in Aboriginal communities are: the lack of information and support on business start-up, a lack of infrastructure in the community (including the absence of an economic development strategy, a business approval process, and a commercial code), difficulty in securing financing, and the lack of support in the community for business start-ups. The thesis concludes by comparing the identified barriers in three B.C. Aboriginal communities to those reported in the literature, reviewing strategies for assessing the barriers, and outlining an approach to develop an action plan appropriate for each of the communities.

Book excerpt: "Indigenous wellbeing is premised on sustainable self-determination that is in turn dependent on a community's evolving model for economic development, its cultural traditions, relationship to its traditional territories and its particular spiritual practices to enable the transmission of these traditions and practices to future generations. In this context, Indigenous leaders have consistently and repeatedly declared their desire to participate in regional, national and international economic development opportunities, capitalize on the abundance of resources on their traditional lands and that facilitate sustainable environmental, social, cultural and economic value creation activities that benefit their communities. They believe through asserting sovereignty of their lands and resources and acting on their inherent rights of Indigenous peoples will enable them to develop foster sustainable development activities that honour their distinct cultures, values and practices. This book, written by the leading scholars in the field, focuses specifically on examples and models for sustainable enterprise that address key issues related to economic, environmental, social and cultural value creation activities. It includes numerous examples of Indigenous communities which have successfully used entrepreneurship in the pursuit of sustainable development and wellbeing. Each chapter features practical examples and case studies that illustrate the key findings"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few works on economic development among Canada's Aboriginal. Living Rhythms offers a current perspective on indigenous economics, planning, business development, sustainable development, and knowledge systems. Using a series of cases studies featuring Aboriginal communities and organizations, Wanda Wuttunee shows that their adaptations to economic and social development are based on indigenous wisdom and experience. She demonstrates that the choices made to meet community and individual goals in Aboriginal economic development, business and entrepreneurship growth are important to a strong Canadian economy. Will Aboriginal communities cherish the environment, elders, and traditions or will maximizing returns on investment be the objective? Are these objectives mutually exclusive? What does it mean to Aboriginal communities to participate meaningfully in the economy? What are the benefits and what are the costs of these choices? Wuttunee states: "As Aboriginal peoples, we may not want to completely mirror mainstream business choices. We may choose to bring emotion, spirit, and caring in addition to strong business skills. We may choose a package of strategies that in the end provides balance in ways that vary across Aboriginal nations but maintains an integrity that is not often seen in the business world."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores Indigenous measures of economic development in First Nations Atlantic Canadian communities that are of relevance for First Nations peoples. Many of the challenges faced by these communities and their local, regional and national leaders in advancing economic development relate to experiences of diverse and complex issues most of which clash with federal policies that increasingly call for centralization, standardization and uniformity. This volume illustrates the key challenges in establishing and maintaining socially responsible economic development that is beneficial for Aboriginal communities.

Book excerpt: In this paper we explore the relationship between business (most notably, corporations involved in the natural resource extraction industry) and the developmental aspirations of the world's 800 million plus Indigenous People, whose communities are among the poorest and most marginalized in the world. To do so, we examine the emergence, evolution and growing importance of the rights of Indigenous people and the role these rights have played (and can play) in the development pathways available to Indigenous communities around the globe. To do this, we use regulation theory to explore the relationship between Indigenous rights and social capital formation as an under researched area when considering how Indigenous people pursue development, particularly through entrepreneurship We posit that the more localized the mode of social regulation (and greater the level of Indigenous participation in social regulation), the higher the level of social capital formation, but that the pathway upon which the local mode of regulation is based has a mediating effect on the entrepreneurial processes utilized by these communities. In exploring, this we will focus on modes of development involving Indigenous peoples' participation in the modern economy through mutually beneficial alliances (MBAs) including joint ventures (JVs) with non-Indigenous organizations. A framework and illustrative examples are presented. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of this research with respect to understanding and predicting the development fortunes of Indigenous peoples globally.
