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’

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
