NEW MEXICO COMMUNITY CAPITAL

Indigidao (funded by robert wood johnson foundation) proposes to assess how or if web 3.0 tools (including dao+, blockchain, etc) can be used to advance indigenous core values like collaboration, reciprocity, shared ownership, and nourishment-based exchange, without exploiting the communities and individuals involved. Our aims in the short term are to support native american entrepreneurs and to counter the potentially extractive nature of these emerging tools, through a co-designed fund among a representative community that provides access to working capital and other values in a safe and reinforcing environment. In time we hope this initiative contributes to and/or informs a shift in the nature of economics in our communities and beyond.
