Based on the fact that the aspect of economy and success is relative in ones culture, it should be understood the indigenous peoples definition of economic stability and success. Some societies have the conception of economy based on the supply they get, thus the produce and consume just what they need. In the present situation, the contemporary society determines the mainstream definition of economy.

With the consciousness of the indigenous people regarding opportunities of achieving economic success, I would say that the system failed the people because it pushes them to cope up with the popular notion of success thru economic determinant. But at the same time, the people also failed the system with which they needed to cope up as part of change. This is a thought based from the different sides of the coin, with which we need to look at the point of view of the contemporary society and culture and that of the indigenous people.

To be able for the indigenous people to cope up with changes in society, their ways of living should go with the social structures around them. In this case, opportunities and value in mainstream economy should be of equal access and provision. One of the ways with which this could be done is for government institutions to provide opportunities for living. This will include an effort of course from the Indigenous people themselves to accept that change is inevitable in a culture provided that the government and mainstream society are sensitive enough about the cultural and societal differences among people.

Considerations on beliefs, customs and characteristics of other people should be made for the society to achieve equality and prosper in any aspect including its economy. In this way, the Indigenous people are empowered by achieving goals and recognizing cultural boundaries and at the same time social structures and institutions are being strengthened.
