Economics of identity
In this episode of High Agency, we sit down with Carol Anne Hilton, founder of the Indigenomics Institute, and the mind behind a movement that’s reshaping economic narratives through an Indigenous lens. Carol Anne takes us from a single tweet to a national economic agenda, unpacking how a hashtag sparked a framework for redefining value, ownership, and power in Indigenous economies. We dive into the concept of “Indian Act economics,” challenge Canada’s sanitized self-image, and explore how tech can either deepen bias or become a tool for Indigenous economic intelligence. We explore how Carol Anne is building data architecture for a $100 billion Indigenous economy, and why true reconciliation must be measurable, not metaphorical. This isn’t just about history, it’s about the financial future of a country still reckoning with its foundations.
