The First Nations Technology Council is a initiative that supports First Nation Communities in British Columbia to use technology “in achieving goals in areas such as: language and culture, education, health, economic development, governance, land and marine stewardship and more” (First Nations Technology Council, 2013). The website is design as a community resource that brings provides a platform for each unique First Nations Community in BC to develop a presence online that represents their cultural identity.
This website provides evidence of the initiatives First Nations in BC are taking in using technology to clearly establish their own identity online, while connecting the past with the future on their own terms. Also, this website clearly provides a central justification in my project how First Nations in BC are using the internet to clearly define their sense of place in the 21st century.
Project Raven is an initiative to provide computer training to First Nations communities across BC. Also, the First Nations portal site provides a rich set of resources for using technology to establish a presence online.
