Abstract

We draw upon research undertaken in partnership with the Toquaht Nation to explore how Indigenous values, knowledge and heritage shape community-based entrepreneurial opportunity recognition and evaluation. Our analysis reveals six recurring themes related to environment, culture, community and economy, which underpin the Toquaht Nation’s vision for sustainable economic and social development, and shape efforts to create multiple forms of value via entrepreneurship. We also describe a socio-culturally sensitive decision support and monitoring system developed to evaluate entrepreneurial opportunities and to assess their impacts.
