Abstract

In 1995, the CANDO Economic Developer of the Year Award was created to recognize and promote recent or long-standing Aboriginal economic development initiatives throughout Canada. Since returning home and now living and working in Listuguj, I have been able to participate in lots of neat projects and activities where my learning experience relates to life experience and my interactions with Mother Earth. "The only time you're a failure is when you stop trying." Since my first business, I have opened several businesses; each one has been more rewarding and challenging then the previous. If your community doesn't have strong financial health it's difficult to convince industry and banks to lend you the capital required to start various economic development undertakings.
