- Title
Upholding Indigenous Economic Relationships: Nehiyawak Narratives.
- Authors
McDonnell, Siobhan
- Abstract
This article discusses the growing recognition among economists that economics is about values, prompting global debates on the wellbeing economy. The author, Sharlene Wuttunee Jobin, explores Cree Indigenous approaches to livelihoods and economics, aiming to create a different economic pathway aligned with the Cree ancestral understanding of the 'good life'. The book emphasizes the deep relationship between the Cree people and the land, challenging the commodification of land as a resource for exploitation. It also addresses the gendered implications of capitalist violence on Indigenous women's bodies, particularly in resource extraction projects. The book concludes by highlighting the importance of Cree practices of cooperative gardening for food sovereignty and self-determination.
