Decolonization and Indigenous Entrepreneurship
Canada has a long and troubled history when it comes to dealing with the First Nations of North America. Achieving reconciliation between Canada and the First Nations is an enormous challenge that covers every aspect of life. I'm not sure where the economy sits on the list of priorities, but it's definitely an important factor in reconciliation. Can a business professor offer any suggestions? Irene Henriques trying, She is Professor of Sustainability and Economics at the Schulich School of Business and her research focus is Indigenous entrepreneurship. Her work has profoundly optimistic, but also very realistic about the need to dismantle colonial institutions and build new economic relationships grounded in the agency of Indigenous peoples.
