Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace

From the site

Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace is a network of academics, artists and technologists whose goal is to define and share conceptual and practical tools that will allow us to create new, Aboriginally-determined territories within the web-pages, online games, and virtual environments that we call cyberspace. Our multi-faceted effort will include a storytelling series, an ongoing gamesnight, a modding workshop, Machinima, and performance art.

The main objective is to implement methods so Aboriginal people can use new media technologies to complement their cultures. As is stated, “even on the Internet, Native people need a self-determined place to call home.”
