FORUM TO RECLAIM INDIGENOUS ECONOMIC SPACE

Hosted by the Indigenomics Institute, the Inaugural Indigenomics Economic Research Forum will explore the reclaiming of modern Indigenous economic space and economic freedoms.
 
Too much Indigenous economic research has focused on the ‘gaps’, ‘challenges’ or ‘what could be’ while taking on a deficit- based approach and offers no solutions towards positive change, growth or the design of the modern Indigenous economy.

Indigenomics is modern Indigenous economic design.  This forum will offer participants facilitated thinking towards inter-generational knowing and wisdom as futurism; applying Indigenous wisdom to explore Indigenous futures.
 
This research forum will focus on the research dimensions of facilitating the national Indigenous economic frame of constructive, generative design towards the emerging 100 billion dollar Indigenous economy. ​
