Season 6, Episode 6:

Urban Entrepreneurs

We explore the migration of Aboriginal peoples to the urban centres and profile some big city businesses. 

Did you know…that over half of all First Nations, Metis and Inuit people live in urban areas? In this episode, we examine how the migration of Aboriginal peoples to large Canadian cities is affecting our Nations.  Yes, there are more opportunities there, but can we successfully pursue a future…without losing sight of the past?  And what about the problems that urban Aboriginal people experience, like poverty and racism – can we overcome these obstacles? Meet urban dwellers who are making the most out of life in the big city by fighting for Aboriginal rights, building businesses, helping their people and pursuing their dreams!
