With NAIDOC Week currently underway and celebrating the history, culture and achievements of First Nations people in Australia, we asked Dean Foley, founder and CEO of indigenous accelerator program Barayamal, to share his take on entrepreneurship in the Indigenous community and highlights up and coming entrepreneurs.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait people have the oldest culture in the world and have had to innovate over thousands of years to live and thrive in one of the harshest continents.

Their innovative achievements include building the oldest aquaculture site in the world which farmed eels and fish to maintain extremely large areas of land through controlled burning called firestick farming.
