Summary:

"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"-- Provided by publisher.
