Lutz, Ellen L. (June 2005). ‘The Many Meanings of Technology’
https://www.culturalsurvival.org/publications/cultural-survival-quarterly/many-meanings-technology
This article caught my attention because of its discussion of Indigenous people’s relationship with Western technology since the 1600s. The author discusses how groups are trying to use ICT to ensure their cultural survival worldwide.
Cultural Survival works with UNESCO to protect Indigenous communities’ rights. Beyond advocating, they operate an Indigenous radio where the programming includes interviews, reports, and strategies to protect their rights. Their programming is offered in numerous Indigenous languages and can be listened to online.
I think that this website will prove to be valuable for my research because it provides both knowledge and a successful example of how technology can be used to protect and advocate for Indigenous rights.
