Frank ... you introduce an interesting component with your comment "gathering urls for cultural digital storytelling and examples of indigenous peoples teaching online" [smiles] ... I am taking this off the list serve and sharing this message with a group of people who I think might be interested in my feedback (many of whom I am working with [smiles]).

 

I am working with a number of people, notably several aboriginal youth (Cal and Jesse), in the production of a number of different video resources. There has been a nice progression towards some interesting on-line video productions and presentations as a result of this work over the past few years.  Some examples of work done at the community and regional levels include:

 

1. A wilderness trip of Cree elders and members of their families travelling on one river across their traditional territory in the fall time. All along the way they would clear the old grave sites and tell the stories of the people being in that particular area. The video and presentation material is located at http://fortsevern.firstnation.ca/washaho/. The great thing about this one is other First Nations are now looking at this one as a way to document and save these stories in the language for the children in the local schools but I think the important thing is the mapping of the traditional territory of the people.

 

2. Then there is the Pii Waseya Residential school gathering web site at Eagle Lake First Nation that contains a variety of video clips of presentations and activities that took place throughout this event. Check these out at http://piiwaseya.knet.ca

 

3. The Kuhkenah International Conference ARCHIVE (link is found on the right hand side) contains a number of presentations by indigenous people and groups using a couple of different presentation formats. You can check these out at http://smart.knet.ca/international and click on Archive to see the different presentations and events (the breeze platform does require some loading of software onto your machine so you can see the presentations).

 

4. A number of interviews about the use of ICTs in First Nations and the different applications that people are using these tools for are posted on-line at http://smart.knet.ca/fednor_video_list.html

 

5. There is the series of case studies (Harnessing ICT's: A Canadian First Nation's Experience) with accompanying video material about our work with the network development, economic development, health and education, that is available on-line at http://smart.knet.ca/kuhkenah_flash.html and click on View flash interface.

 

6. Other archived video material is available at several different locations (http://smart.knet.ca/smart2002/practices.html, http://smart.knet.ca/conference, http://smart.firstnation.ca) that provides archived documentation about different events that our team participated in over the years.

 

7. We are now using the Starbak webcasting platform to capture various video conferencing events. One great example of this application is a national gathering hosted by the students at the Eel Ground First Nation school and this one can be seen by CLICKING HERE ( http://webcast.knet.ca/schoolnet/replay_2.php?call_id=30&owner=schoolnet&filename=/schoolnet/Incoming_call_line_2_2004.02.23_04:22:20.ce) - be sure to scroll through about the first half which contains all the set up stuff [smiles] (we are still working on being able to edit these video sessions). Another example is the final wrap up of the International Conference where Graeme and Tom from New Zealand joined our video conference after participating in the entire event for two days (time zones be damned, eh [smiles]) ... lots of fun and lots of sharing ...

 

8. As well, our new Breeze server that we are using to do presentations (as demonstrated during the International conference) is proving to be a great tool for archiving and supporting community members to participate in events that are happening elsewhere in the world. Jesse's presentation during this event, entitled Multimedia Services (on day 2) is a great example of story telling (see it at http://breeze.knet.ca/p46047897/)

 

I hope some of these are of interest to you ... I look forward to seeing what happens with this ...

To translate your message to English I used translation software at http://http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com You might use this site to translate my message into Spanish.

You can easily translate whole web sites to Spanish by entering the web address. The translations will need considerable interpretation on your part. I have extensive online training resources that I'd like help converting to proper Spanish for widespread distribution without restriction.

Much thanks for your contribution to my request for Indigenous Internet

Empowerment models and resources. I don't speak Spanish, but can read a

bit. A few years ago I created an online resource of Spanish Language sites at

http://lone-eagles.com/migrant.htm  There are many great Spanish language resources on the Internet such as

University of Texas Latin American Network Information Center

http://lanic.utexas.edu/

Oct. 2003,  I had the honor of presenting for an Australian Government

conference on rural and Indigenous empowerment. Before my visit I wrote a

paper http://lone-eagles.com/wings.htm and after a 12 community tour

sponsored by government, with an emphasis on Aboriginal communities, I wrote a

trip report at http://lone-eagles.com/sparks.htm

My best overall resources are listed at

http://lone-eagles.com/articles/articles.htm and there you'll find my best

indigenous resources listed in the Alaskan Resources listing http://lone-eagles.com/alaskan-resources.htm.

Note I have two graduate online courses for educators and one Ecommerce

online course for youth and rural adults. I am online with educators in

indigenous villages across Alaska.

My resources include sites that offer free web page hosting, online training, Ecommerce Lessons, and much more.
My resources represent an info-brokerage of the best online resources for self-empowerment and cultural sovereignty.

I'm particularly proud of my Indigenous Community Grant Templates, the most

current listing is at the end of a chapter on related issues at

http://lone-eagles.com/village-sustainability.htm

I was recently asked to write a chapter on the history of online learning

from my rural perspective. (Online since 1983, teaching online since 1988.)

And it was an opportunity to identify subtle barriers relevant to rural and indigneous Internet empowerment..

http://lone-eagles.com/history.htm
 

You're invited to use any of my resources without restriction. If you have

particular resource needs, let me know. I'm likely to have something you'd

find worthwhile. Free tools which allow you to create a community network are included in the youth project at http://lone-eagles.com/inquiry.htm
 

If you'd like to receive future Lone Eagle Updates on new writings and

resource collections, let me know.

If you wish to NOT  receive future updates, please let me know, as well.
 

All the best,

Frank

What does it take to organise a reference demonstration of this simple

thesis?

Not much really - except that it would be quite illegal in most

countries, due to the same kind of thinking that has paralysed South

Africa (cf the article posted by bridges.org very recently on this list)

on the subject of WiFi and VoIP.

Here are the building blocks of micro-radio:

    * An inexpensive low power transmitter

    * Antenna

    * Microphone

    * Recording device

    * Editing device

    * Playback device (may be the same as the recording device)

As I write this, I am listening to jazz on the radio, broadcast on the

Net by www.attentionspanradio.net and sent from my sound card to the

input jack of a tiny FM transmitter with a rudimentary antenna (their

d-i-y designs can be downloaded conveniently from

http:///www.radiophony.com, the Radiophony website), which cost a total

of IRs 200 to assemble, and the long-life rechargeable 12V battery which

powers it cost IRs 90. FYI, Rs 300 is approximately USD 6.5 these days.

The signal is just powerful enough to reach every room in the house.

For one account of what "internal value" really means, browse through

our website (Radiophony is promoted by Dr Arun Mehta and myself, both of

us are present on this list), where we describe the experience of

setting up India's first rural radio station (later shut down by some

bureaucrats). There are really no words to describe the thrill so

visible on the faces of villagers as they heard their voices on their

radio (in fact, they later named their station Mana Radio, which means

Our Radio in the local - Telugu - language). The station was powered by

a similar transmitter as the one I am listening through now, and with a

suitably placed antenna, every home (within half a kilometer from the

antenna mast) could tune in to their own village station.

But to return to the question raised by John Hibbs, what would it take

to 'scientifically' demonstrate the internal value? What would it take

to make radio ubiquitous and affordable?

By international agreement, the frequencies from 87.5 MHz to 108 MHz are

reserved for public broadcasting over FM. This fact has had a very

useful outcome, in that consumer FM radio receivers are extraordinarily

cheap in most parts of the world. This means that FM radio listening is

affordable, for the most part, but at the same time, the restricted band

of frequencies for the purpose has led to a commonly expressed fear

psychosis that the spectrum is a scarce commodity. Market forces usually

ensure that scarcity drives up prices, and in the case of FM broadcast

license fees or spectrum usage charges, this is true.

In the US, one of the world's heaviest users of spectrum in the FM band,

prices are sky-high, and the government has been stepping back from

protectionist measures that secured a place for public service radio.

Most public service radio frequencies are held by well-funded

organisations, while commercial radio has become massively dominated by

a very few media companies, and there does not seem to be much scope for

nindependent micro-radio to flourish, on the surface.

the reality is somewhat different.

Actually there are many 'pirate' stations that broadcast independent

content, and a groundswell movement that seeks to open the spectrum for

more micro-radio. The FCC has been forced to take note of the pioneering

study by the Prometheus Project (http://www.prometheusradio.org/) and a

hearing on Localism in Broadcasting will take place today (May 26) in

Rapid City, South Dakota. Sen John McCain is also expected to introduce

a legislation shortly to mandate bandwidth for low power radio.

Much more can be done to make the technology easily available.

The circuit on our website is not ideally temperature stable nor

filtered to a very high quality (US standards militate towards a

separation of 200 KHz between stations) - it was designed for low cost

and easy component availability.

What is needed is a handy circuit that can be easily tuned to lock onto

frequencies 200 KHz apart, encased in a simple, cheap and hardy box, and

an accompanying range of easy to build and tune antennae, so that

thousands of little stations can be set up within a few hundred meters

of each other, without the need for expensive one time use

instrumentation.

It won't take much to upgrade the technology of consumer level devices

to achieve the specifications outlined above - but someone must get down

and fine-tune them, and someone else must work out the best low cost

solution that can be mass-produced like cheap and durable toys. This

could be done through an online discussion, or a physical workshop where

both the technology and the means of its dissemination can be pinned

down. Is anyone ready to bell the cat?  --

Hi Robyn,

How are you doing? I visited Montreal months ago and I found very

interesting the work of SAT with the inuits in Quebec.. Let me introduce

Martin Chartrand. He is head of innovation of SAT. Here  you can find 

more info, http://www.sat.qc.ca/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=113

Hi Martin, let me introduce  Robyn Kamira  from New Zeland working in

the area of community networking. I met her several times during the 

organiization of Global CN Partnership.

I've also fund  interesting the tv channel of aboriginal people I saw in

the cable system of the hotel in Montreal. It is  called ..APTN, 

Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.. 

http://www.aptn.ca:8080/corporate/about/history_html

This is the area I'm working now, a platform  for languages and cultures

based on advance Internet, starting with the catalan culture, :-)

Indigenous broadcasters in australia

Two examples that might be of interest...

Koori Radio (Australia)

http://www.abc.net.au/message/blackarts/culture/s657013.htm

CTV (Community TV Australia) - Not 100% indigenous however a significant

portion of the content is Koori. IMHO an excellent example of active

multiculturalism)

http://www.realtimearts.net/rt52/kaufmann.html

Robyn ... In Canada... I work with the folks at Wawatay Native

Communications Society (www.wawatay.on.ca) that has both radio and

television departments as well as print working out of Sioux Lookout. The

web site is mainly promoting the print side of things. The television

division is mainly producing material for the national aboriginal television

network (www.aptn.ca) working out of Winnipeg and Toronto.

A recent aboriginal radio broadcast came on-line a few months ago out of

Toronto and they seem to be doing neat things with plans to scale up into

other cities across Canada ... (http://www.aboriginalradio.com/) ...

There are other aboriginal radio and television groups working on a regional

and national level in Canada but I am not aware of these ...
