Ulnooweg Atlantic Aboriginal Entrepreneur Awards Show Announces 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient – Charlie Morris, Eskasoni First Nation, NS

This award is given to an entrepreneur who has been in business for over thirty years and has demonstrated commitment to their community through social and economic contributions as a business entrepreneur. Winners of this award are especially commendable. When they began their business ventures, entrepreneurship- especially among aboriginal people – was not valued and supported like it is today. Most often, they started their business based on a need for the community. Start up costs, economic lulls, and other factors had to be overcome without a great deal of assistance. These entrepreneurs are not only committed to their business, but have also built firm economic support for their families and communities.read more
