HE institutions partner to help grow Indigenous economy

The University of Canterbury (UC) has signed memorandums of understanding with two Canadian institutions to break down the barriers for Indigenous self-determination and economic reconciliation, writes Jody O’Callaghan for Stuff.

UC leaders signed the agreement with the Tulo Centre of Indigenous Economics (Tulo Centre) and Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, British Columbia – where First Nation tribal economics is world-leading.

The MoU commits them to explore opportunities to deliver unique indigenous-led courses, and a formal pathway to collaborate on research, build capacity for Indigenous public administration, governance, leadership and economic development.
