Abstract
"'A serious advance in state-of-the-art research.' Marisa Duarte, author of Network Sovereignty: Building the Internet across Indian Country An essential contribution to Internet activism and a must-read for educators, theorists, and users of technology, A Digital Bundle demonstrates the great potential for digital technology to contribute to Indigenous self-determination, resurgence, revitalization, and the rebuilding of nations. Wemigwans redefines online Indigenous Knowledges as "digital bundles," grounding online projects within Indigenous traditional paradigms. She elevates both cultural protocol and responsibilities within this designation, representing new possibilities for both the Internet and Indigenous communities. Her own website was produced and created within Indigenous community cultural protocols, showing the reader a clear example of how one can respectfully follow Indigenous practices and apply Indigenous ethics in the construction of a digital site."--WorldCat.org.
