The future of Indigenous inclusivity in economic development depends on new financial opportunities to empower Indigenous communities to thrive while preserving their cultural heritage. As global economies shift toward sustainability and equity, there is growing recognition of the need to support Indigenous peoples in accessing finance, technology, and resources necessary to create sustainable growth. By creating inclusive financial systems, promoting Indigenous-led entrepreneurship, and investing in community-driven projects, communities and local businesses can bridge the gap between historical inequities and modern economic opportunities. Exploring this approach may benefit Indigenous communities while contributing to the goals of economic resilience, cultural preservation, and environmental stewardship.
The Future of Indigenous Inclusivity: Unlocking Finance for Economic Development explores the intersection of Indigenous communities and new financial practices for improved Indigenous economic development. It examines solutions to address the challenges presented by Indigenous community development, policymaking, service improvement, and inclusion in local economics. This book covers topics such as law and policy, natural resources, and financial technology, and is a useful resource for economists, business owners, policymakers, engineers, scientists, academicians, and researchers.
