Indigenous Cultural Innovation: When Art Meets Technology
Boozhoo News River readers,
This week, we spotlight five exciting stories where art, technology, and Indigenous cultures meet. Indigenous artists, creators and communities are innovating with digital tools and influencing how companies approach cultural representation. From robots inspired by ancestral wisdom to digital language preservation, this week's curated links showcase respectful ways technology is used to amplify, preserve, and reimagine Indigenous heritage.
