ADVANCE PRAISE FOR A DIGITAL BUNDLE

Wemigwans concept of the digital bundle is an integral and effective intellectual intervention, [one that] I can see as the cornerstone of a much greater theoretical work about the epistemic facets of digitized Indigenous Knowledge.... The more documentation that we have of digital bundles, the more that policy-makers, librarians, archivists, museum specialists, and technologists can prepare spaces for these kinds of projects.... Therefore, this is an important book not only to an Indigenous studies audience, but also within the field of library and information science, archival and museum studies, Internet studies, cultural studies, and society and technology studies. Marisa Duarte, author of Network Sovereignty: Building the Internet across Indian Country

Jennifer Wemigwans work is timely and will spark a dialogue about the cultural shift in how we share Indigenous Knowledge online. The movement promises reconciliatory and resurgent possibilities for global Indigenous collaboration and organization, so long as we ground the movement in Indigenous cultural perspectives, ethics, and care. Jean-Paul Restoule , co-editor of Indigenous Research: Theories, Practices, and Relationships

A Digital Bundle highlights the Internet and its role in the transmission of Indigenous Knowledge from Elders and established Indigenous academics.... Jennifer Wemigwans has clearly emerged as an exemplary model of a new generation of Indigenous scholar who is ethically responsible and equally knowledgeable about the generational transference of knowledge in Indigenous communities. This work is not only about the interstices of Indigenous Knowledge and technology but, based on Wemigwans example, a new standard for practicing it. Jolene Rickard , director of the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program, Cornell University

Chapter 1

Indigenous Resurgence and the Internet

Indigenous ontologies and cosmologies are regenerating communities across Turtle Island and reconnecting Indigenous Peoples with their spiritual and cultural power. This book looks at how Indigenous Knowledge online has had socio-cultural effects and how information communication technology ( Ict ) affects relationships among diverse Indigenous Peoples and the flow of power between Indigenous Peoples and the state. Within an Indigenous framework, this work supports the notion that power residing in media networks is stronger than that residing in government (Castells, 2010). A series of interviews with Indigenous activists, artists, educators, and front-line workers demonstrates a vast network of cultural exchange based upon the flow of local Indigenous Knowledge from specific community contexts to the national stage and even the global stage. Indigenous Knowledge online is instrumental to the success of Indigenous community resurgence and radical application of knowledge in all fields, including education, health, law, and social well-being. The interviews conducted across Canada reveal not only the dialectical relationship between online and offline political action and engagement but also how activists, educators, and front-line workers use Indigenous Knowledge online to create, develop, and enhance their own work. Indigenous Knowledge online speaks back to dominant colonial systems of knowledge in Canada by representing an active presence rooted in the local soils of diverse Elders and Knowledge Keepers.
