Blackwater, D. (April 29, 2020) “Indigenize the Internet: How to close the digital divide by respecting tribal sovereignty.”
I came across this presentation by Darrah Blackwater, which immediately jumped out. Darrah Blackwater is from the Navajo Nation and was completing a law degree at the time of the presentation. Ms. Blackwater describes the opportunities Indigenous people offer to the global community (economically and culturally), and she believes that the internet needs Indigenous people.
I found the presentation on The Native Nations institute at the University of Arizona database (https://nnigovernance.arizona.edu/). This database provides a vast resource for further research, including conferences, seminars, and symposia, to mention just a fraction.
I highly recommend watching this presentation.
After watching her presentation, I further researched Ms. Blackwater and found her website (https://blackwatersoul.org/). She has a lot of resources here focusing on Indigenous policy, health, and art.
