The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History`s Arctic Studies Centre showcased an interactive exhibit featuring the Indigenous AINU people of Japan in 1999-2000.\u00a0 <\/span>Visitors to this site are able to virtually travel from one room to the next discovering the historical and modern culture of the AINU people.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Not unlike many of the sites visited through the course of compiling this weblog, the AINU site uses interactive technologies in an engaging and accessible manner in promoting AINU culture.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Something which I found particularly noteworthy is how the creators of this site provide historical AINU information as well as connecting the evolution and resurgence of AINU culture.\u00a0 <\/span>As we have learned over the past months in ETEC 521 one of the main goals for all Indigenous peoples is the recognition of their culture as a \u201cliving culture\u201d not something which is purely to be read about in some Western created textbook.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Northern Links is a website developed to provide resources for sport and recreation programming as a means to engage Northern Aboriginal communities in healthier culturally connected life choices.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Through their \u201csearchable online database community leaders are able to find a wide variety of programming information \u2013 policies, forms, program models and information, action kits, research and more\u201d (Northern Links, 2008).<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Northern Links database is an excellent tool to gain some insight into successful cultural programs that have been implemented in Northern Aboriginal communities.\u00a0 <\/span>This website also provides a listserv to act as a bridge between individuals or groups who are wishing to share their stories as a means to promote community success stories. <\/span><\/p>\n

Te Kete Ipurangi The Online Learning Centre is a bilingual (English and Maori) platform created by New Zealand`s Ministry of Education.\u00a0 <\/span>The goal of Te Kete Ipurangi is to provide cost effective resources to New Zealand`s educators that will \u201c<\/span>raise student achievement and advance professional development for school management and teaching staff<\/span>\u201d <\/span>(Te Kete Ipurangi, 2008).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From curricular outcomes (<\/span>http:\/\/nzcurriculum.tki.org.nz\/<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>) to bilingual interactivities (<\/span>http:\/\/www.tki.org.nz\/r\/wick_ed\/<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>) the online resources available through this site are vast.\u00a0 <\/span>I believe Te Kete Ipurangi is an exemplar model of how Indigenity, technology, and education can be integrated to meet the needs of all learners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Invert Media is an Aboriginal multimedia production company dedicated to express Indigenous knowledge and worldviews through information, communication, technologies (ICTs). \u00a0<\/span>Invert\u2019s model is to provide a holistic product that incorporates a \u201cuser-centred design with a community-based approach to honour and incorporate the community expertise of diverse Indigenous nations\u201d (Invert Media, 2008).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My rational for including this site as part of my weblog is to showcase the extent to which Indigenous peoples have utilized technology as a means to preserve, transmit, and promote <\/span>Indigenous<\/span> culture but also to demonstrate the success Indigenous\u00a0 <\/span>people are experiencing as creators of ICT applications.\u00a0 the following are links to some of Invert’s clients.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pacific Worlds<\/span> is a website designed to promote and preserve Indigenous Pacific-Islanders\u2019 knowledge.\u00a0 <\/span>As a means to this end, Pacific Worlds\u2019 authors recognized that there was a need to utilize technology as a resource to \u201cmake cultural education and preservation more effective, and show the relevance of modern technologies to traditional ways, thereby hopefully inspiring young Native people to take interest in both\u201d (Pacific Worlds, 2008).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In order to make the resources more accessible on this site the authors have provided a brief tutorial on how to best navigate through its curriculum.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
