Who Controls the Capital? First Nations & the Future of Wealth

Wealth isn’t just about money—it’s about power, control, and who makes the decisions. First Nations economic sovereignty isn’t just about being included in the economy—it’s about leading it. In this episode, we unpack why GDP fails to measure real prosperity, how First Nations-led investment strategies are reshaping financial systems, and the critical gaps in so-called “progress,” like the Noongar Boodja Trust. We explore the challenges of external control over Indigenous wealth, the need for real decision-making power, and what a future of First Nations economic leadership could look like. The First Nations Strategic Alignment Framework (FNSAF) provides a roadmap for shifting from participation to ownership, ensuring capital flows in alignment with First Nations values—not external interests.🎧 What you’ll learn:✅ Why GDP is an outdated measure of success and how First Nations economies offer a better model✅ The challenges of external control in Indigenous wealth management, with insights from the Noongar Boodja Trust✅ How First Nations investment funds and sovereign wealth strategies are changing the financial landscapewww.firstnationsaffairs.comhello@firstnationsaffairs.com
