I’m not sure what the Turtle Island Native Network (TINN) is exactly (other than an independent aboriginal news network) as I wasn’t able to find a mission statement anywhere or even a clear theme running through the content. I think that may be the strength of the site; it’s got a bit of everything. It’s almost a “digital refrigerator” with a ton of links to other media sources providers. If you are looking for information on a contemporary indigenous topic, you will find something here.
I found this site when I was researching urban indigeniety and I came across TINN’s Spotlight on Urban Aborginals. Most of the content showcases (usually using video) individual aboriginals who are discussing their lives and challenges. While there are few direct references to the value or risk of using technology, the site clearly is comfortable with new media as a means to strengthen connections and articulate indigenous identity.
