My third post was about a website about Cultural Survival. I decided to keep searching for sites which help connect and reach out to indigenous communities around the world. This website is titled Rising Global Voices Online, it was created by a group of Indigenous bloggers in 2004. They began to invite other Indigenous peoples around the world to engage in conversation online and shed light to issues and news in their communities which is often overlooked by mainstream media.
Rising Voices allows Indigenous people around the world to voice their opinion to others, it shares Indigenous media and news coverage and support projects that help protect Indigenous peoples worldwide.
The downfall to this website is in order for Indigenous Voices to be heard online the documentation needs to be translated to English. It is sometimes difficult translating various issues and problems from an Indigenous language to English. It is also difficult for people to use many of the tools offered on Global Voices such as podcasts, blogs or online videos because it is only translated into 6 languages and many people do not have the language skills or experience to use this technology therefore unable to voice themselves properly.
