Native American Cultural Identity through Imagery

ICT globalization continues to spread hardware, software, and accompanying technologies, so too does knowledges and trainings on those ICTs. This knowledge migration process has been linked by scholars to a 'colonial impulse' inherent in computing as a knowledge enterprise, which incorporates into broader colonizing forces. Through simultaneous explorations of dual case studies with a tribal ISP in California and an educational organization that works with indigenous First Nations communities in British Columbia, we depict how power circulates in this process, both empower and disempowering communities. We then offer a brief argument for the need to foreground methods and approaches to disentangling these contradicting forces.
