The contributors to this book, Information Technology and Indigenous Communities, are working at the cutting
edge of their cultural, geographic and disciplinary fields. The sheer innovation, as well as the global reach of Australia’s Indigenous communities working with these new technologies, becomes clear in each of these chapters. That information technology and communication is now a major industry in Indigenous communities across Australia is evident and demands a comprehensive response from governments and service providers. - Foreword,
