 \, Montreal\, Quebec\n\nDepartment of Sociology Presents a talk by\n	Assist
 ant Professor Rochelle Côté\, Memorial University of Newfoundland\, St. Jo
 hn’s\n	\n	Abstract: To understand the processes of social mobility for Indig
 enous People\, this talk argues that we need to interrogate how the litera
 ture and related discourses surrounding the emergent Indigenous middle cla
 ss entraps issues of cultural identity as being ‘at stake’. Social status 
 movement in first world countries by Indigenous people can be seen in the 
 growth of successful professional and entrepreneurial classes where both w
 ealth creation and social power are significant resources. Data from Austr
 alia\, Canada and the United States on a variety of social mobility indica
 tors show an increase over the past two decades as Indigenous people becom
 e increasingly upwardly mobile. But the public and academic discourses con
 tinue to perpetuate the belief that social mobility impacts somewhat negat
 ively on Indigenous people by placing cultural identity in conflict with c
 olonial capitalism. Indigenous entrepreneurs are used as a case study exam
 ple in this article to reveal how the duality between ‘profit’ and ‘purpos
 e’ creates an impossible tension when Indigenous cultural identity is fram
 ed as ‘at risk’ for individuals who are working towards being socially mob
 ile. A discursive colonial mindset is thus a central and enduring problema
 tic organising principle of the field of Indigenous entrepreneurship\, and
  other fields such as the media\, policy and entertainment requiring futur
 e research to discharge.\n
