Indigenous-owned enterprises
Indigenous-owned enterprises are businesses that are owned and operated primarily by Indigenous peoples, such as Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians, or First Nations communities. These enterprises often reflect their cultural values, traditions, and knowledge, while providing economic opportunities and supporting community development. They can include a wide range of industries, from arts and crafts to tourism, agriculture, and natural resource management. Supporting Indigenous-owned businesses helps promote economic self-sufficiency, preserve cultural heritage, and foster respect and understanding of Indigenous communities.
