Introduction
The number of different Aboriginal CED models demonstrates just how broad and complex ACED is. Some models follow a mainstream or "business as usual" path, relying on dominant system, while others take a more progressive path, seeking out alternatives. As an outsider to Aboriginal communities, my base objective is to be in solidarity with indigenous communities by supporting the rights of indigenous peoples, culture, and self-reliance (be it sovereignty, or dependence on MNC) and so my model has to allow for all options to be considered. Of course I do have some biases, and they will be projected in my model, but to try and negate this affect, I have tried to make my model broad enough to accomodate all perspectives. This essay will firstly examine my Aborginal Community Economic Development Model, and apply it to the TCIG.
Model
The model I have designed is broken into three parts: Learn from the Past, Prepare in the Present, to Defend the Future. (I first read this on a poster at an organization where i volunteer, and thought it could be applied to ACED, but unfortunately still have not found the original creator.) Within the three parts there are subcategories which will be described in greater detail later. Learn from the Past includes education, culture/tradition, participation. Prepare in the Present includes education, culture/tradition, and participation. The last category, Defend the future includes education, participation and social change. Some of the subcategories expand all three categories, and this is because I believe these factors to be the most important to any community development (bias), and key to any positive progress.
Learn from the Past
"Education" critical education. Assessment, mapping of community. distinct needs in context of local resources: importance of assessment. Every community is different, so important to have a model that reflects the diversity of the communities.
