Read Michael Robinson and Elmer Ghostkeeper’s “Native and Local Economics: A Consideration of Economic Evolution and the Next Economy.” Because of its publication date (1987), this article provides a useful retrospective context that we can use as a tool to analyze more recent developments in the North. The article presents an overview of three economic models: traditional bush, industrialized, and post-industrial.
Choose a community in the northern focus region, and outline the kinds of renewable and non-renewable resource development in operation twenty-five years ago and today. Identify and explain the economic models that currently operate in the community, and suggest how the community might move toward a more post-industrial model.
