Journal Entry 1

After reading both articles, I was seen the positive and negative aspect of Non-Natives using First Nations culture for a financial benefit.

I had a hard time seeing First Nations in the articles as entrepreneurs when they allow to have their culture exploited for a financial benefit, especially when Non-Natives are benefiting from our culture. I am not practically happy with having our culture exploited in a way that is negative for a profit. First Nations should benefit from our heritage.

I did like how First Nations incorporated their traditional values and beliefs as part of the decision making process when is comes to making business decisions. The article put the decision process in a way that makes sense, and holds values to the cultural dynamic of First Nations peoples I think that it is a good venture to incorporate First Nations traditions into the today’s businesses. By doing so, it will make First Nations’s people better entrepreneurs.
