Indigenous Communities Must be Taught About New Technologies

Indigenous communities carry centuries of knowledge stories, traditions, and environmental wisdom that are vital for humanity’s future. Yet without access to new technologies, they risk being excluded from the conversations and opportunities that shape the modern world. Digital inclusion is no longer a privilege; it is a necessity for survival, self-determination, and global engagement.

Technology equips Indigenous people with powerful tools to protect their environment and preserve their culture. With mobile devices, drones, and mapping tools, they can monitor illegal logging, track wildlife, and document the effects of climate change. The same technology allows them to record oral histories, traditional songs, and cultural practices, ensuring they are passed on to future generations.

Bringing technology to Indigenous communities is more than just delivering devices.
