| Sumario: | The present work aims to know the motives of why Indigenous entrepreneurs startcompanies, as well as how the characteristics of these groups influence the motives for companycreation and determine entrepreneurial behavior. Through qualitative research, using interviewsfrom five Indigenous entrepreneurs in Mexico, and the comparative case studies, this researchidentifies the motivators and characteristics of Indigenous entrepreneurs, as well as communityembeddedness as an element of core business, without which company creation could not happen.The results show that embeddedness, identity,comunalidad(communal way of life), and worldviewcontribute positively to entrepreneurial project achievements, which also impact the community itself.Recommendations for different economic and social agents, concerning supporting the sustainabilityof Indigenous communities, and the protection of their culture and historical legacies, are derived from this study. |
