The Future of the Indigenous Economy

The Max Bell Foundation and Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy are pleased to present:

The Future of the Indigenous Economy

Indigenous entrepreneurs continue to drive economic prosperity for their own communities and for the country. They are doing so in the context of increasing recognition and legal affirmations of the rights of Indigenous communities. How can this growing prosperity be supported and accelerated? Building from the core of self-determination, what capacity building, institutional innovation, governance frameworks, and financing arrangements can best enable the success of the Indigenous economy?

Join us on February 16, 2023, in Regina or via Zoom for a conversation about these issues.
