Abstract

This chapter observes the ways in which land-based art, culture, traditions, and language lessons can be taught and learned through digital archiving. Further I discuss the fears, concerns, and tensions that come with digitizing Indigenous culture and language and how to move through those apprehensions to invest in piquing interest and providing accessibility to Wapana’ki people through digital means.
