Urban Aboriginal Economic Development

PDF Report

Organization/ AuthorLoxley, John and Wien, Fred

Description:
In 'Not Strangers in These Parts' Pp. 217-242. “In this chapter we will discuss urban Aboriginal economic development from three vantage points: longstanding urban reserves, the urban economic development strategies of rural First Nation and Metis communities, and the situation of urban Aboriginal populations without a land base…from an economic development standpoint, the most difficult task is faced by the last of these three groupings…Through a case study if Winnipeg, we outline three strategic approaches to urban Aboriginal economic development.” (introduction p. 218)
Approaches are: The incubator approach (provides a variety of economic functions from a central location, under one roof), the Neechi approach (focus on community economic development), and the employment equity, employment agreement approach (aggressive employment equity initiatives in the public sector, and opening employment opportunities in the private sector).
