Sharing Prosperity

An Introduction to Building Relationships for Economic Reconciliation in Ontario

Numerous treaties and UNDRIP Article 36 affirm the rights of Indigenous peoples to engage in international trade, particularly as a means of economic self-determination. Foreign trade zones (FTZs) established by Indigenous nations are expressions of economic self-determination. This policy brief recommends the establishment of mechanisms to recognize Indigenous FTZs in Canada and the facilitation of connections between Indigenous businesses in Canada with their counterparts utilizing FTZs in the United States.
