Course Description
Indigenous peoples continue to struggle with the contradictions
between economies organized in ways they desire and the choices
presented in contemporary economies. This course addresses five
principles that are key to organizing an economy based upon an
indigenous world view: 1.) Because everything is connected,
externalities, common pool goods and public goods must be
recognized. 2.) Among the most important connections for
indigenous peoples is that with their land. 3.) Reciprocity, both
between people and their land, and among people, is a fundamental
organizational principle for exchange. 4.) Because peoples'
connections to land are permanent, the sustainability of that
connection is important, which leads to concern about the far
future. 5) Leaders have to be accountable for their actions, based
upon implementation of the first four principles.
