Entrepreneurship is a practice and a way of thinking that involves discovering or creating opportunities and then assembling or developing resources to deliver and capture the value related to the opportunity. This course will assess, explore, critique, and celebrate entrepreneurship as an important aspect of Indigenous and non-Indigenous life. Together we will mix theory with practice and reality, and apply the principles, concepts and frameworks to situations that are important to you.

KEY QUESTIONS:
  • How does tribal self-governance, and a focused approach to tribal business contribute to successful Indigenous entrepreneurship? 
  • What are the likely barriers to entrepreneurship on reserves/reservations, and how can they be overcome? 
  • What are the nation-building benefits of encouraging entrepreneurship, and what policies are most effective?
