Indigenous economics is a branch of economics that focuses on the economic development and financial well-being of Indigenous communities and peoples around the world. This field explores how traditional Indigenous economic practices, such as land stewardship, sustainable resource management, and communal ownership, can be integrated with modern economic systems to create more sustainable and equitable economies for Indigenous populations. Indigenous economics also examines the impacts of colonization, globalization, and government policies on Indigenous economies, and seeks to empower Indigenous communities to build economic self-sufficiency and resilience. The goal of Indigenous economics is to promote economic justice, cultural revitalization, and community empowerment for Indigenous peoples.
