“…Despite considerable barriers to ICT adoption such as cost, lack of adequate infrastructure and low levels of digital literacy (Du & Haines, 2017;Radoll, 2010), the use of ICT has become an important everyday activity for Indigenous Australians (Dyson, 2015) across work, educational and social environments (Radoll, 2010). Research shows that Indigenous people across the globe are typically early adopters of digital technology (Carlson & Frazer, 2018;Latimore et al, 2017) and use ICT for a diverse range of purposes, including information-seeking, playing online games, using social media, listening to music, watching videos, as well as uploading content such as music, photos…”

Indigenous peoples in Australia are subject to significant disadvantages both socio-economically and in health, education and service provision. Knowledge-sharing interventions, including those with an information and communications technology (ICT) base, have the potential to address these challenges. Interventions occur against a background of an ancient culture with distinctive ways of knowing and doing, including storytelling, art and performance. This study documents the results of a scoping review of interventions that have been undertaken in this context. It considers the outcomes of these interventions, the extent to which Indigenous ways of knowing were accounted for and whether ICT was involved. Our review of the peer-reviewed literature located two prior reviews and seven primary studies. All of the primary studies were about health interventions; of these, all those that reported positive outcomes only had incorporated Indigenous ways of knowing, some in innovative ways. Only two studies used ICT as their main vehicle. This article provides a base for further work by documenting the current status of the field and identifying the gaps, such as the scarcity of non-health and ICT-based studies. The cases identified provide useful insights for those with an interest in developing future initiatives.

“…In the Canadian context, von der Porten and de Loë (2013) look at how Indigenous peoples might be brought into collaborative agreements over water resources. Latimore et al (2017) discuss the use of deliberation to control Indigenous public spheres among Indigenous Australians. A study that has not been carried out is to test the presence of deliberative practices across several Indigenous peoples and examine cross-cultural variation.…”

Public deliberation has risen to the forefront of governance as a technique for increasing participation in policy making. Scholars and practitioners have also noted the potential for deliberation to give greater influence to historically marginalized populations, such as Indigenous peoples. However, there has been less attention paid to the potential fit between the ideals of deliberation and the governance and decision making practices of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) peoples. In this paper, we begin to address this gap by analyzing accounts of AI/AN governance from the perspective of deliberation, and note areas of overlap, synergy, and conflict. We conduct a close reading of key historical and ethnographic accounts of four historical AI/AN contexts-the Iroquois Confederation under the Great Law of Peace, 19th century accounts of the Ojibwa village, the Santa Clara Pueblo government in pre-19th century, and Yup'ik village life in the early 20th century-and a more contemporary case in the form of the Santa Clara Pueblo's Constitution from the Indian Reorganization Act period. We then apply two sets of key criteria for deliberative democracy-from the scholars Robert Dahl and John Gastil-to these accounts and note the ways in which each system is or is not congruent with these frameworks of deliberation. We find variations between these historical tribal contexts in our analysis. Social components of deliberation, such as respectful discussion and equal opportunities to participate, were partially or fully present in many accounts of governance practices, but it was less clear whether the analytic components, such as discussion of a range of solutions, were included in some forms of tribal governance. We then explore the potential implications of our findings for public deliberation within and in AI/AN tribes. We note that deliberative scholars and practitioners should be wary of overgeneralizing about AI/AN tribes.
