#thismymob: Digital land rights and reconnecting Indigenous communities

#thismymob: Digital land rights and reconnecting Indigenous communities. This project aims to investigate how social technology can connect Indigenous communities and enhance wellbeing; design culturally appropriate and sensitive technologies that afford a safe refuge for Indigenous peoples and their communities. This project will design and evaluate a mobile app to implement a national-scale, Indigenous-led technology development project and develop a national technology research and development framework and post-secondary Indigenous software engineering curricula. The project expects to benefit Indigenous developers, entrepreneurs and start-ups to develop, operate and own technology.

Indigenous involvement notes

Dr Christopher Lawrence, a Noongar person originally from Perth, is leading a team of eight researchers based at The University of Melbourne who will create new pathways to help Indigenous developers, entrepreneurs and start-ups to develop and operate Indigenous-owned technology.

Amy Woods, a Wiradjuri woman is the first Indigenous woman to study an honours degree in IT at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), has been one of the core team members working on developing the app.

The non-Aboriginal principal helped us recruit ten local participants, some of whom were part of an Aboriginal teaching leadership team at the school. We approached this community via two local Aboriginal people living in Darwin who are connected to the Aboriginal researcher. After the workshop, we toured the town of Wurrumiyanga, and spent time at Tiwi Design which is the focus of the island’s important art industry.

Our connection to this site [Lombadina] is via a respected leader and an old friend of the Aboriginal lead researcher. Our contact liaised with local people and helped us organize a two-hour workshop in the community hall.
