Why would investment and support of indigenous and local economies be sound approaches to solving local and global problems?

Investing and supporting indigenous economies and businesses is an investment in the future of humanity. Supporting local and indigenous economies is not about giving back, it is about giving forward, to ourselves. Here is why?

Large corporations are fictitious legal persons, they feel no pleasure or pain. They are tools for rich people to make money out of money. In the short term, yes, few people will get very rich from the riches of huge corporations. The costs are huge burden on humanity and the environments humans live.

Local economies create sustainable lifestyles because local economies are built by local communities who are both consumers and producers. People in local economies produce for consumption, not for money.

Corporations on the other hand, produce to make money. Even when there is no need for something, they will artificially create need so that they continue to make money. That approach, in the long run destroys social relations and human relations to the environment.

Supporting local and indigenous economies will help sustain local communities, protect and preserve their way of life and environments, and inspire cultural and natural beauty. It gives a chance for nature to heal itself and regenerate itself for future generations.

For these and many other reasons, we are here connecting more indigenous communities than any other platform of its size.
