After reading the first article, two things stand out: 1) The European Commissionʻs 2003 list of barriers to explain why indigenous people tend not to be entrepreneurs. 2) The idea that “disadvantaged people” will tend to become entrepreneurs out of necessity.
As a Hawaiian, sure a lot of the“ 2003 list of barriers” apply to us as a people to an extent but something more important has been overlooked and that is the idea that culturally our ideology is in conflict with that of business world. Capitalism is a system based on individuals making profit rather than the whole, basically someoneʻs got a loose. And from a cultural perspective its vise versa so that the everyone may benefit.
If your family is starving and you got something people want and are willing to pay you for it. I can imagine that people will out of survival tend to relinquish their moral code. I recognize that entrepreneurs who are not brought up to live culturally pono tend to have the ability to make that comprise in the name of doing business.
So while the term “indigenous people” has no universal definition, indigenous people have a universal moral code that makes it extremely difficult to be a successful entrepreneur and still culturally pono. In the end all things considered I find it hard to see how natives people all over the world “have the power to create the greatest change for their own countries” through the discovery of entrepreneurship.
