ICMI & InDigital Cultures
ICMI believes in the potential of technology to amplify, celebrate and enhance Indigenous arts and culture. There are also significant challenges in this space including compromising Indigenous artists’ ownership & control of their own content, online racism, and digital access and equity.
ICMI’s InDigital Cultures projects strive to address and understand the full spectrum of issues for Indigenous art, creatives and communities within the digital space. These include:
IndigenousDance.ca is a website database created in collaboration with Carleton University which includes regional units, in-depth interviews and articles for students, the image research database for scholars, and downloadable resource kits for teachers about Indigenous dance traditions from coast to coast in Canada.
Open Website
IndigenousDrums.ca is another website database created in collaboration Carleton University devoted to the rich heritage of First Nations culture and music in Canada with video and image galleries, in-depth interviews and articles for students and scholars and downloadable resource kits for teachers.
