About this Unit
In Growing the Indigenous Economy, we examine Australia’s Indigenous economies and their dynamics. Students are challenged to reflect on the significant contribution Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have made and continue to make to Australia’s economy. They are also challenged to rethink the politics of the welfare economy as it relates to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; whilst reviewing relevant community development frameworks. Students are introduced to a number of enterprise development case studies, for example: The Arts, mining and land development, environmental and cultural tourism, sport, and small business.
