Getting this issue to press has proven to be a challenge, much like that faced by economic development officers everywhere as they struggle with the everyday problems of development within their own communities and organizations. All of the editors are volunteers who enthusiastically donate their time and expertise to helping to put each issue together. Creating a journal is proving to be a large but exciting challenge. We enjoy working on it and learn from the experience. We hope that you like what you read and that it causes you to think differently.
Welcome to the first issue of the new Journal of Aboriginal Economic Development. We have designed this journal to be of interest to practitioners and researchers as well as those who are teaching in the field. It is our intent to bring you articles from a wide variety of people who are working in this area to show you the range of activity and thought that is underway within Aboriginal communities.
The development of Aboriginal economies is an important step that requires thoughtful action. Many are saying that increased economic activity and the resultant wealth is one of the fundamental keys to the rebuilding of Aboriginal governments and the development of Aboriginal peoples’ communities. Such an
important activity deserves a close examination.
About the Journal
JAED's intent is to explore ideas and build knowledge in the field of Indigenous economic development theory and practice. The journal prefers a broad interpretation of research and knowledge and encourages a wide variety of contributions in this area. We want to know what people are doing, what is working, what is not working, and why.
