IMPACT Conference

Join our accomplished panel of Indigenous women entrepreneurs from Canada's northernmost communities as we discuss the importance of Indigenous women entrepreneurs in tourism and their role in strengthening regenerative and relational tourism in Canada. Learning from the first-hand stories of women from the North, we have applied Indigenous-focused methodologies to gain a deeper understanding of the barriers to entrepreneurship faced by Indigenous women in tourism. Exploring their relationship with the planet, their culture, and their worldviews, we apply Two Eyed Seeing to envision a better business model and journey for the women of the North.
