Decolonizing Development: Perspectives from Indigenous Communities

In this symposium we will explore possibilities for Indigenous organizations to become a force for decolonization. Business enterprises owned and operated by Indigenous communities are one way for them to participate in the market economy. The challenge is to develop enterprise management and governance structures that allow Indigenous communities to participate in economic activity without sacrificing their social and cultural ties that are integral to their wellbeing. The long and violent history of colonialism has also shaped the experience of Indigenous communities’ relationship with the market economy. Indigenous resistance is thus central to the decolonial project, which rejects the universalistic and ‘objective’ assumptions of Eurocentric epistemologies and modernity while privileging multiple local histories, ways of knowing and ways of being in the world. In this symposium several Indigenous researchers will present their work that explores possibilities of how Indigenous organizations can engage with the decolonial project. In what ways do Indigenous epistemologies shape the ways in which Indigenous peoples and organizations participate in the market economy? What are the experiences of Indigenous entrepreneurs and businesses in their engagement with the market economy? What are the risks for Indigenous communities and organizations in participating with states and corporations in developmental and resource extraction projects? What alternative forms of organizations and economies can emerge from Indigenous imaginaries? These are some of the questions we will explore in the symposium.
