This chapter deconstructs the prevailing narrative of women’s entrepreneurship, exposing its complicity in the dispossession of Indigenous women. Through a 5-year engagement with the Maganda Makers Business Club in the Kimberley region of Australia, this research reveals how Indigenous women entrepreneurs are actively ‘re-fashioning’ Western entrepreneurial tools to align with their deeply held cultural values, which prioritise relationality between people and non-human beings. By rejecting profit-maximisation motives and linear growth trajectories, these women affirm their ventures as sacred cultural expressions of matriarchal responsibilities for family, community, culture, and country.

摘要

This chapter deconstructs the prevailing narrative of women’s entrepreneurship, exposing its complicity in the dispossession of Indigenous women. Through a 5-year engagement with the Maganda Makers Business Club in the Kimberley region of Australia, this research reveals how Indigenous women entrepreneurs are actively ‘re-fashioning’ Western entrepreneurial tools to align with their deeply held cultural values, which prioritise relationality between people and non-human beings. By rejecting profit-maximisation motives and linear growth trajectories, these women affirm their ventures as sacred cultural expressions of matriarchal responsibilities for family, community, culture, and country.
