Essential core material for the next class of economists.

It is time. It is time to increase the visibility of the emerging modern Indigenous economy and the role and responsibility of the people involved. This is Indigenomics.

Indigenomics lays out the tenets of the emerging Indigenous economy, built around relationships, multigenerational stewardship of resources, and care for all. Highlights include:

• The ongoing power shift and rise of the modern Indigenous economy
• Voices of Indigenous business leaders
• Ongoing legal challenges to Canada's relationship with Indigenous Peoples
• Exposure of the false media narrative of Indigenous dependency
• A new narrative, rooted in the reality on the ground, that Indigenous Peoples are economic powerhouses
• Diverse examples from across the emerging Indigenous economy.

Indigenomics calls for a new model of development, one that advances Indigenous self-determination, collective well-being, and reconciliation.

This is vital reading for business leaders and entrepreneurs, Indigenous organizations and Nations, governments and policymakers, and economists.

How and why Indigenous worldviews are important to enhancing the modern economy.
― Dr. Jacqueline Quinless, Adjunct Professor of Sociology, University of Victoria

Indigenomics is the concept the world has been waiting for.
― Amanda Ellis, Director, Global Partnerships, Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory, ASU
