Editorial for the Indigenous use of Information and Communication Technologies Section

The rapid rise in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) by Indigenous people and communities is an intriguing development with implications for Indigenous cultures. ICTs have a critical role to play in supporting Indigenous selfdetermination, strengthening Indigenous identity, and providing a strong Indigenous political voice. ICTs also have potential to address Indigenous disadvantage through connecting business and government to Indigenous communities. However, potential negatives also exist. ICT use can give rise to negative consequences by diminishing cultural meanings and exposing individuals to new kinds of online-related risks.
