Module 1: Post 3 – Indigenous Friends Association

Indigenous Friends Association (IFA) is an Indigenous-Led tech not-for-profit organization that aligns closely with the discussions of Module 1.  IFA responds to the Calls to Action #7 and #66, and aims to provide Indigenous Peoples and allies with the tools to build partnerships and promote digital projects that are rooted around Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Understandings.

Two programs which IFA has are the Indigital program aimed at promoting wellness and technology education through Indigenous Worldviews. As well as the IndigiMobile Program. This program incorporates imagining, creating and deploying digital applications that integrate traditional knowledge and values.

Here is an interview with one of the allies that discuss how they created a Social Media App Indigenous Friends that connected Indigenous people.
