“…The critical contribution of culture in business management was noted, along with accountability to multiple stakeholders. Emphasis was on the significance of the dual skills of managers and employees-both technical and cultural, to be effective in the business (Padilla-Meléndez et al, 2022). Other vital elements include emphasis on communal well-being, collective decision-making, and sustainable practices due to the Indigenous spiritual connection to their customary or ancestral land.…”

This article aims to examine crucial elements that provide a platform for the success of Indigenous businesses based on customary land, drawing on case studies from Fiji. A qualitative, ethnographic, three case study approach was conducted, and talanoa (discussion or talking together in groups or between two people) method was used to collect data guided by the Vanua Research Framework. Four significant themes unfolded from the study in terms of essential strategies for the success of the businesses on customary land: following protocols for safe cultural affiliation of the business; practices of people working collectively; making socio-cultural contributions to the community and contributing to employee well-being. The research implies that Indigenous businesses on customary land tend to define success from a cultural viewpoint that differs from how business success is conventionally defined.

“…Scholars also emphasize Indigenous culture as an essential characteristic of IE. This is the case even if they draw on conventional terminologies in the entrepreneurship literature to define IE (Padilla-Mel endez et al, 2022). Dana emphasizes that entrepreneurial opportunity in the context of IE is culturally bound (1995, p. 67).…”

PurposeEntrepreneurship by Indigenous people in Canada and Australia, while historically connected to the ancestral lands and traditional practices of Indigenous people, has been evolving and expanding in scope and nature. In this article, the authors aim to offer an integrative framework for capturing the contemporary dynamics and outcomes of entrepreneurship by Indigenous people as they pursue venture creation as part of their broader development aspirations.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on literature from place-based views of entrepreneurship and social identity theory, the authors develop a typology to account for four modes of entrepreneurship by Indigenous people along two contextual dimensions – Indigenous territory and Indigenous marker.FindingsIndigenous practicing entrepreneurship may choose to conduct business within or outside of traditional lands and demonstrate more or less indigeneity in their business activities as they marshal resources and seek opportunities. The authors identify how these diverse Indigenous businesses contribute to the economic development among Indigenous communities as part of their ongoing struggle to rebuild their “nations” using business.Originality/valueThis article contributes by differentiating sociocultural vs economic resources in noneconomic contexts to develop a theoretical typology of Indigenous entrepreneurship. By detailing the relations between Indigenous territories and Indigenous lands and between Indigenous identity and Indigenous markers, the authors contribute to a more nuanced and practical conceptualization of Indigenous entrepreneurship.

“…Several studies have explored the economic well-being of indigenous peoples globally through case studies that provide practical examples of how indigenous well-being is premised on sustainable self-determination that is, in turn, dependent on a community’s evolving model for economic development, its cultural traditions, its relationship to its traditional territories and its spiritual practices. These studies have demonstrated the role of indigenous communities to successfully used entrepreneurship in the pursuit of sustainable development and well-being (Macpherson et al , 2021; Colbourne and Anderson, 2021; Kayseas et al , 2015; Cordoba et al , 2021; Padilla-Meléndez et al , 2021). A study conducted by Peredo et al (2019) about indigenous social innovation and entrepreneurial practices highlighted the following aspects to consider related to their well-being: traditional knowledge and practices; distinct cosmology and culture; and struggles for decolonisation and indigenous resurgence. …”

Purpose This paper aims to study the Colombia Buen Vivir and how indigenous social enterprise strategies inform and contribute for achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) by reaching sustainability and the well-being in the community. Design/methodology/approach Using participatory video research (PVR), this work draws upon evidence from a multiple case study of five indigenous communities (Curripaco, Puinave, Yanacona, Misak and Wayuu). Ethical approval was obtained from the five indigenous social enterprises (ISEs) in Colombia. Findings What emerged from the findings is that the SDGs were addressed before the SDG Agenda in 2015. Moreover, the findings revealed that the cultural values of indigenous people had not been contemplated in the SDGs. Research limitations/implications The cases respond to a particular context (Colombia); therefore, this invites us to be cautious when extrapolating the results to other regions. Practical implications This work addresses a research gap that points to the lack of studies that focus on ISEs and the SDGs in developing countries. Further, this work sheds light on the role ISEs play in the quest for communities to achieve sustainability and well-being. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first to explore whether the SDGs embed sufficient ways of knowing and doing by the Latin American Buen Vivir of ISEs.
