When Indigenous entrepreneurs struggle with pricing traditional knowledge

My business partner and I started a company selling traditional crafts, but we disagree about pricing - she wants to price according to the true value of the cultural knowledge and time involved, while I worry we'll price ourselves out of the market, and we're both feeling like the other doesn't understand the real pressures we're under.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The commodification of cultural practices creates impossible tensions between honoring ancestral wisdom and surviving in market economies.
