Article: A Community of Relations: Mukurtu Hubs and Spokes
This article provides a more detailed history of Mukurtu and its evolution over the past decade; it also discusses (possible) future directions of the CMS. I think this article will be quite useful in providing a timeline describing how Mukurtu came to be, how it was initially used and how the developers intend to upgrade it in the future. Of particular interest to me is how the developers intend to consult Indigenous communities throughout the upgrade process (and how the CMS was developed through consultation with many different Indigenous communities). Within this article I also discovered a sort of ‘sister site’ (a multi-tribal version of Mukurtu) named the Plateau Peoples’ Web Portal (I’ll post a separate entry describing the site in more detail).
