About the Author
Aboriginal peoples in Canada and Indigenous peoples around the world are becoming increasingly
active in economic development activities. To find a place in the new global economy, competitive
business venture creations are emerging at the regional, national, and international level. This book
explores economic development in order to achieve a greater understanding of this process.
Throughout the book, Anderson examines the objectives, strategies, structures, and activities of the
Aboriginal peoples in Canada with the following four goals:
to identify the emerging approach to development
to build models of development that offer new insight
to investigate economic development activities in order to determine if they are consistent with
the models
to examine actual development outcomes to determine if they met the expectations, and to
examine whether they have been proven to be effective
