Article: Does Information Really Want to be Free? Indigenous Knowledge Systems and the Question of Openness

Kimberly Christen’s article, “Does Information Really Want to be Free? Indigenous Knowledge Systems and the Question of Openness” describes her experience creating and launching Mukurtu, a Content Management System (CMS).  What makes Mukurtu different than other CMS’ is that it is designed to encourage (particularly Indigenous) communities to exchange, share, and manage their cultural traditions in their own way and on their own terms.
