DISCO Network Presents: Building the Indigenous Internet

Open to: The Public

This panel brings together key voices in infrastructure as broadly imagined, data sovereignty and decolonial perspectives to critically explore the history, present, and future of the indigenous Internet. It is the first in a series of DISCO-sponsored critical conversations about the under examined contributions of people who make the digital possible and that may point us towards alternatives. This panel will showcase how Indigenous knowledge has and will continue to shape data worlds by bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives on emerging technologies—ranging from computer science, artificial intelligence, social media, online activism, the work of infrastructure and circuit building, and beyond. By centering Indigenous voices, the conversation aims to create transformative visions for a sustainable, equitable, and inclusive digital future while inviting speculative thinking about post-settler digital worlds.
