Celebrating the Indigenous Community through Technology
4:00pm PTVirtual
Join us for an engaging workshop focused on honouring Indigenous peoples and their traditional territories. The students of the Verna J Kirkness Education Foundation were encouraged, by their mentors, to explore technology as a source for storytelling. This journey led to the creation of “Tech Talez”. “Tech Talez” is a platform where Indigenous communities of Turtle Island, and those connected to them, can share their knowledge and cultural heritage.
During this workshop, we will explore how a collaborative map can deepen our understanding of Indigenous cultures, moving beyond governmental borders to reflect diverse and personal narratives. By contributing to this map, you will not only have an opportunity to share your own cultural experiences but also engage with others’ stories, forming a deeper reflection on both personal and communal heritage.
We hope this project inspires participants to connect more profoundly with their own culture and learn about others, through the exchange of stories and experiences. Join us to be a part of this meaningful, collaborative journey and contribute to the Indigenous culture and heritage.
