In this ground-breaking new book, leading native and non-native scholars present a fascinating view of American Indian tribal values and indigenous cultures. Long before Columbus, American Indians had trading routes all across the Americas. How did they maintain this extensive network of trading relationships through the centuries?
'Tribal Wisdom' offers an ethic of business practice that is relationship-based and community-oriented, fostering a harmonious web of life which includes the natural environment. Many of these traditions have shaped daily conduct in business and personal life among Native Americans for centuries and today the wider business world could find use from relating these tribal values to both ethics and sustainability.
This will be essential reading for professionals, practitioners and scholars across the business world.
