Women in business from caregivers to entrepreneurs

Chambers, Brenda. (Added Author). Filmwest Associates (Added Author). Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. (Added Author). Host: Brenda Chambers. (Cast).

Summary: "In traditional matriarchal Aboriginal society, women always played a central role. While men kept busy hunting and gathering, women were caregivers and stabilizing influences. Today, many Aboriginal women continue to take centre stage, in business and administration. But they face some of the same obstacles that non-Aboriginal women face: outdated attitudes and lack of opportunity. Focusing on an Aboriginal designer who has combined international high-fashion with strong cultural values, this episode of Venturing Forth examines the challenges facing Aboriginal women in business, and looks at their achievements, despite a lack of formal training and support."--Container.
