Books

Carol Anne coined the term “Indigenomics” in 2012, evolving it from a social media hashtag into a global movement that radically repositions Indigenous Peoples as central contributors to modern economies. Her acclaimed book, Indigenomics: Taking a Seat at the Economic Table, articulates a bold vision for a $100 billion Indigenous economy and serves as a blueprint for economic reconciliation. The book was shortlisted for the 2021 Donner Prize and is widely regarded as a foundational text in Indigenous economic thought. Hilton recently authored her second book, ” The Rise of Indigenous Economic Power- Deconstructing Indian Act Economics.”
