ABOUT THE PROJECT
The purpose of this blog series will be to weigh the highs and lows of digitizing cultural knowledge.
The role of digital Indigenous genealogical storytelling is complex. There are ethics to consider before we jump straight into digitizing our family histories. In the four blog posts that are associated with Cultural Heritage Data and Social Engagement I am addressing the Rhetorics of Reciprocity, The highs and lows of Digitizing Cultural Knowledge, The Highs and lows of Digitizing Familial Knowledge, and finally, Indigenous Storytelling. Through these posts I hope to express why there should not be an asymmetrical relationship between community and researcher, how cultural knowledge and familial knowledge is sacred knowledge that must be protected due to past exploitative practices, and finally how we as researchers can look to contemporary forms of storytelling to maintain the old traditions of storytelling.
