Vol. 9 No. 2 (2015): Fall 2015

These stories touch not only on economic development, but also on healing, Aboriginal women in mining negotiations and project development, and Aboriginal forest enterprises. In this issue, researchers also engage in the discussion of a number of ongoing and important topics critical to the enhancement of the academic and community-based understanding of what it means to develop in ways that honour and utilize Indigenous ways of knowing and being. This includes the critical analysis of community-based enterprises as an economic development strategy, the value of looking at concepts related to “Aboriginal capitalism”, and an analysis of why it is important to rethink the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework from an Indigenous perspective.
