Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,3, University of Leipzig (Philologische Fakultät), language: English, abstract: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to draw a comparison between the Cherokee Nation of the United States and the Aborigines of Australia concerning their economic development. Even though the Cherokee Nation and the Australian Aborigines share similar historical backgrounds with regard to a long lasting mistreatment by their prevailing governments, the Cherokee Nation, in contrast to the Australian Aborigines, has been and continues to experience a more successful economic development. This paper analyzes the reasons underlying this contrast. For that, the historical background of the Australian Aborigines and the Cherokee Nation is examined and compared. Since both of them were mistreated by their prevailing governments, their historical backgrounds are compared and the consequences of the mistreatment are applied to their contemporary economic situations. After that, the contemporary economic situations of the two peoples are compared, whereat the distinction between the Cherokee Nation’s economic success and the Aborigine’s economic failure becomes apparent. Finally, the reasons for the different economic development are investigated and in how far the affected peoples or even their governments, as in the case of the Australian Aborigines, are responsible for this difference. The results will be revealed and discussed.
This paper has been prepared to develop a framework for an Aboriginal economic development policy which would assist British Columbia to further Aboriginal self-sufficiency. It is designed to stimulate and support consultations among all key stakeholders, including Aboriginal entrepreneurs, enterprises, and businesses; key target groups in the Aboriginal community; federal and provincial departments and agencies; and non-Aboriginal private sector organisations and institutions. The work conducted to develop this paper included a review of Aboriginal economic development programs in other provinces, a literature search on the constraints on Aboriginal economic development, collection of data on the socio-economic conditions of provincial Aboriginals, and holding of workshops and consultations. Results of this work are presented along with the guiding principles for an Aboriginal economic development framework, an implementation strategy, and a list of specific economic development initiatives. The appendix includes an overview of existing federal and provincial programs that focus on Aboriginal economic development.
The Program is designed to work in partnership with aboriginal entrepreneurs to help them develop independent and viable businesses in all parts of Canada. This document explains how to access and take advantage of the opportunities afforded under the Program.
