Decolonizing Entrepreneurship: Time to Open Both Eyes

We address our role as educators and researchers of entrepreneurship in ensuring that everything we do today is aimed at reconciling the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and restoring balanced relationships. Based on recognition of the importance of Indigenous knowledge for reconciliation and the value of Indigenous knowledge in a more holistic and comprehensive understanding of entrepreneurship to make better scientific and educational decisions, we describe a brief introduction and partial explanation of our lack of attention and offer justification for checking our assumptions about entrepreneurship and decolonizing our research and teaching. We offer a brief introduction to examples of Indigenous conceptual frameworks of ethical and appropriate informed pluralism that allow ways of knowing, being, and doing. Finally, we offer some suggestions for scholars in our field in pursuit of decolonizing their minds and work.
