Simon's presentation, Athabasca University Indigenous Business: Culture, Diversity, and Sustainability, explores how the future of sustainable economies can be found in Indigenous enterprises and communities. Athabasca University (AU) has a series of business courses of interest to non-Indigenous and Indigenous students to learn about the future of business and social enterprises in North America. Indigenous business courses will explore these possibilities, beginning with <a href="https://www.athabascau.ca/syllabi/inbu/inbu386.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">INBU 386: Introduction to Indigenous Human Resources</a>, which provides managers with skills in emotional intelligence, problem-solving, and cross-culture relations to improve outcomes.
