To study Indigenous Media is to study what it means to be and become Indigenous, and how and why reclaiming and protecting the ecological "commons," both, bioregional and electronic, and Indigenous and Technological, is essential to the future of Earth. Indigenous Media practitioners explore new political strategies and tools, especially the power of networking like-minded communities for local/global actions and sharing of resources while learning, re-learning, and maintaining social, cultural and ecological practices in their own regions. Conversely, Indigenous Media practitioners are also committed to Indigenous Sovereignty.
This course explores the deep connections among Native wisdom, Permaculture, and the global activism made possible by electronic networks. This semester, we will be focusing especially on structures of kinship, both digital and Indigenous, as alternatives to patriarchal kin structures. Partnering and developing collaborative projects is currently underway with colleagues from Arizona State University.
