The disconnection between business schools and Indigenous economies is a legacy of colonialism, which has had a profound impact on Indigenous communities and their economic systems. The historical context of colonization and the ongoing impact of systemic racism and oppression are essential to understanding the current state of Indigenous economies.

The disconnection between business schools and Indigenous economies is a legacy of colonialism, which has had a profound impact on Indigenous communities and their economic systems.
By acknowledging and addressing this history, business education institutions can begin to repair the damage and work towards reconciliation. This requires a fundamental shift in the way business education is delivered, one that prioritizes the needs and values of Indigenous communities. By incorporating Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into their curriculum and practices, institutions can help to address the systemic inequalities and power imbalances that perpetuate the disconnection. Furthermore, by prioritizing community-based economic development and decolonizing business education, institutions can help to create a more inclusive and culturally responsive business education system that prioritizes the well-being of people and the planet.
