Indigenous peoples are an intrinsic part of countries like
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Finland, USA, India, Russia and
almost all parts of South America and Africa. A considerable amount
of research has been done during the twentieth century mainly by
anthropologists, sociologists and linguists in order to describe,
and document their traditional life style for the protection and
safeguarding of their established knowledge, skills, languages and
beliefs. These communities are engaging and adapting rapidly to the
changing circumstances partly caused by post modernisation and the
process of globalization. These have led them to aspire to better
living standards, as well as preserving their uniqueness,
approaches to environment, close proximity to social structures and
communities. For at least the last two decades, patterns of
increased economic activity by indigenous peoples in many countries
have been viewed to be significantly on the rise. Indigenous People
and Economic Development reveals some of the characteristics of
this economic activity, 'coloured' by the unique regard and
philosophy of life that indigenous people around the world have.
The successes, difficulties and obstacles to economic development,
their solutions and innovative practices in business - all of these
elements, based on research findings, are discussed in this book
and offer an inside view of the dynamics of the indigenous
societies which are evolving in a globalised and highly
interconnected contemporary world.
