Tribal Wisdom for Business Ethics
About this book
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? In this ground-breaking book, leading native and non-native scholars present a fascinating view of American Indian tribal values and indigenous cultures. This '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. Indigenous values incorporate a world-view which recognizes that the natural environment is alive and living a life as important as, and also essential to, human well-being. This indigenous sense of "relationship" begins with the relationship between humans and the natural environment, and then extends to the relationships between and among people. For this reason, indigenous American Indian values embody the very essence of sustainability.

Contexts
โ
Traditional
Native
American
Indian
tribal
cultures
reflect
a
variety
of
differences
from
the
Euro-Western
American
cultures.
While
both
cultures
engage
in
โ
business
โ
as
economic
trade
and
negotiations,
each
comes
from
different
social
contexts.
It
is
valuable
for
each
tradition
to
learn
about
the
nature
of
the
other,
as
such
cross-cultural
explorations
lead
to
a
better
under-
standing
of
one
โ
s
own
culture
in
comparison
to
an
โ
other.
โ
These
comparisons
are
most
helpful
when
each
side
can
discover,
adapt,
and
adopt
new
ways
of
dealing
with
common
challenges.
Also,
each
culture
offers
a
different
story
about
how
certain
values
and
practices
can
play
out
over
time.
Cross-Cultural
โ
In
this
book,
we
offer
a
cross-cultural
view,
and
a
story
of
how
some
Native
American
Indian
tribal
traditions
and
practices
can
lead
to
a
different
way
of
doing
business,
both
within
and
across
cultural
boundaries.
These
differences
are
often
more
a
matter
of
emphasis
rather
than
harsh
divergences.
Most
differences
we
address
are
cases
of
more/less
emphasis,
not
a
sharp
absence/presence
distinction.
