This event will showcase powerful Indigenous-led innovations for advancing sustainability across global economic challenges.”

• Cultural Celebrations and Reflections – From Tanzanian performers to an Indigenous Moon Ceremony led by Andrea Menard, the event upholds Indigenous worldview as a core component of economic vitality.

Organized around the alignment of the natural world with 13 content streams inspired by natural systems such as 13 moons and 4 directions, Indigenomics NOW brings together critical perspectives including Indigenous economic sovereignty, sustainable business models, and Indigenous data sovereignty.
