Indigenous knowledge is the foundation upon which the cultural

practices of indigenous communities are derived. These native

communities recognise that the use and transfer of their knowledge

is imperative to the prolonged existence and maintenance of their

cultural information, wisdom, and the day to day survival of their

people and surroundings.

This knowledge has been transmitted successfully through traditional

knowledge techniques, particularly storytelling and narrative,

for generations. However, with the emergence of written media,

continuing modernisation, and the sometimes conflicting knowledge

methods of indigenous and western-based knowledge practitioners,

this form of knowledge preservation has become less appreciated

in some areas. Government policies, legislation, and knowledge

conservation have been weakened as a result.

Many information technologies and processes available today present

opportunities for indigenous cultures, such as those of Aboriginal

Australians and New Zealand Mori, to address the risk of loss of

their knowledge. In doing so, it is necessary to realise the importance

of capturing, transferring and protecting the knowledge assets and

indigenous culture of all native communities in a manner which is

respectful and sustainable.

This two-day masterclass will provide an interactive environment

in which to explore vital issues associated with the effective use

of knowledge management techniques within indigenous cultures.

Effectively engaging indigenous communities, finding functional

methods to capture and preserve oral and traditional knowledge,

exploring narrative techniques and storytelling, and addressing issues

surrounding intellectual property (IP) are key focuses of this event.
