Some communities have chosen to pursue economic opportunities by forming alliances with governments and industry partners and/or through the formation of new ventures. Other communities choose to ‘opt out’ of natural resource development projects for reasons usually related to environmental impact concerns (Anderson 1997; Anderson et al. 2006). For this special issue we seek theoretical and empirical work that advances our understanding of the multiple ways in which strategic alliances and partnerships between natural resource corporations, governments and Indigenous communities can be negotiated, formed, sustained and leveraged for the purposes of creating win/win value propositions that may have either a direct or indirect impact on the creation of wholly owned or joint new ventures.

Data used in this report were collected from a literature review in additionto interviews with Aboriginal leaders in ten geographically distinct communities.Through this case study approach, six key factors that contribute to the success of Aboriginal community-owned firms are identified.These factors include the following: (1) strong leadership andvision; (2) a strategic community economic development plan; (3) access tocapital, markets, and management expertise; (4) good governance and management;(5) transparency and accountability; and (6) the positive interplay of businessand politics. The ten firms analyzed in this report have been successful. The profitsgenerated by the businesses are reinvested in the business and thecommunity. This community capitalism type of business development has provided clear benefits for these communities and should be considered by other Aboriginal communities seeking to become self-reliant.(SRD)

However, teen pregnancy brings specific challenges that need to be addressed if, indeed, children are the future of Aboriginal communities. This commentary looks at how the tools of community economic development (CED) can be applied to move young parents into positions from which they can participate in local economies. CED can be used to address contributing factors to teen pregnancies that are supportive of youth and appropriate to the community in question. Young parents need support to develop the necessary independence and resilience. This brings challenges to community leadership to take steps to encourage the development of healthy sexuality and lifestyles, and to provide the needed education, training, and other community supports. If youth are the future of Aboriginal communities, the cost of ignoring young parents and their children is much too high to ignore.

It began some five centuries ago, upon first contact with Europeans. The negative impact has been well documented: socially cohesive communities have suffered severe dislocation. What receives less attention, but is more important, is the degree of cohesion that remains and the burning desire among Aboriginal people to rebuild their communities on this foundation. Remarkably, they intend to do this by participating in the global economy, but on their own terms. Business development (that is, entrepreneurship) and participation in the workforce lie at the heart of their approach to this participation. One organization, the Council for the Advancement of Native Development Officers (CANDO), is playing a key role in the development of the entrepreneurial capacity that is essential to successful participation in the global economy. This chapter describes the activities of CANDO, in particular its development of a national training and professional certification program for economic development officers working for Aboriginal communities and organizations. It places CANDO’s success in the latest thinking on capacity-building.

She has therefore directed her book not only to potential northern entrepreneurs and students interested in the concerns of small businesses in isolated communities but also to those who provide the support services for owners of small businesses.
