About this Unit
In 2015 this unit replaced by 102307 - Growing the Indigenous Economy. Revaluing Indigenous Economics will examine Australia’s Indigenous economies and its dynamics. It will challenge students to reflect on the significant contribution Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have made and continue to make to Australia’s economy. It will also challenge students to rethink the politics of the welfare economy as it relates to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Students will be introduced to a number of enterprise development case studies for example, The Arts, Mining and Land Development, Tourism and the Environment, Sports and Small Business.
