Power Questions• Social transformation is at the heart of
community process
• Ask better questions – get better results – How can we shift from a culture of dependence to a
culture of independence?
– How do we indigenize our social development policy?
– How can we do it ourselves?
– How can we create a culture of accountability based on our traditional values?
– How can we indigenize the school of business?
– What do we need to do to get ready to bring $50million into this community? How do we make powerful decisions from our well-being?
– What does a prosperity plan look like for our Nation?
• How can we connect a global network of indigenous
businesses?
• How can we engage the city in the economic development success of the local First Nation communities?
#Indigenomics• Indigenomics – new language- new time, new
requirements
• Draws on ancient principles that have supported indigenous economies for thousands of years, and works to implement them as modern practices.
• Is about understanding and exploring the Indigenous ways of being, understanding the contrast with the modern economy and traditional systems
• Learn from characteristics of emerging ecological business models
Application
• #indigenomics is a platform for building understanding and reconciliation and acts as a toolbox for building understanding of Canadians , Government(s) and corporations
• Currently teach Indigenomics at Simon Fraser University to community economic development officers and at Mount Royal University in Calgary
• Presented at World Indigenous Business Forum in Guatemala
• Infiltrating ‘neo-classical economics’
Building an innovative response to NOW-Indigenous Wealth Dynamics
• Indigenous Wealth Dynamics is a training session developed by Transformation International.
• Poverty is one of the most pivotal issues facing our communities
• Indigenous Wealth Dynamics acts as a testament to our resilience and strength as Indigenous peoples and a tool for community development.
• Providing financial literacy, and empowerment training in designing community cultural abundance and wealth based thinking through strategic action – shift from deficit thinking
• Transform how we think, behave and act towards money as individuals and communities
Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.” -Nelson Mandela
