Faculty of Business

This course offers unique opportunities to examine the relationship between Indigenous peoples and business in the local and Canadian contexts. Students will be invited to engage with Indigenous perspectives rooted in Indigenous traditional knowledge and the experience of colonialism in Canada. Good business is rooted in miyowahkotowin (good relations). Students will be encouraged to develop an understanding of good relations through circle discussions and through exploration of their relationships to themselves, their community, and the Indigenous peoples of this land. Drawing on examples from current events, the class will look at contemporary issues in Indigenous business, including self-determination, community entrepreneurship, natural resource management, and more.
