As part of my investigation into understanding what criteria would an Indigenous community consider when selecting technologies for use and integration, and whether there are examples of communities that carefully consider technologies before allowing or endorsing their use, I came across this blog posting: “The Pros and Cons of Technology for Indigenous Tribes”.
This also led me to discover the Mukurtu project which is a content management system (CMS) designed to empower communities and cultures to keep and manage access to their cultures and traditions. With what we have read so far, I do wonder how this is reconciled with the fact that so many traditions are passed person to person (and in person), and how this relates to knowledge that is tied to specific locations.
Here are some samples of how it has been used by Indigenous communities and organizations.
