Abstract

This article highlights current efforts to use educational technology in Indian Country with K-12 students, situated within the larger discourse on digital equity. The author argues that the current literature on digital equity marginalizes Native students by providing a narrow view of technology integration in American Indian education. As dynamic and innovative peoples, tribes are using and have used technologies to support the revitalization of language and culture, move Native students from consumers to producers of digital content and to strengthen tribal identity and sovereignty. Despite these recent trends, very little research has been conducted on the ways in which technology is, can and should serve Native students. This article centers stories of technological creativity and health while also describing potential frameworks for interested parties to engage in a discussion about ways in which educational technologies can support and strengthen Native students in the 21st century.
