Working with Indigenous communities: Reflections on ethical information research with Ngarrindjeri people in South Australia

Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we reflected on the ethical information research based on our two studies conducted with an Indigenous community in South Australia. The first study was about understanding how Indigenous people interact with information and communication technologies (ICTs) on their traditional land and how they perceive the role of ICTs in the community development. The second study focused on Indigenous knowledge and experiences sharing in the traditional society. Ethical investigations on Indigenous people's information and knowledge practices will contribute to information research with marginalized groups.
