Around the planet, indigenous people are using old and new
technologies to amplify their voices and broadcast information to a
global audience. This is the first portrait of a powerful
international movement that looks both inward and outward, helping
to preserve ancient languages and cultures while communicating
across cultural, political, and geographical boundaries. Based on
more than twenty years of research, observation, and work
experience in indigenous journalism, film, music and visual art,
this volume includes specialized studies of Inuit in Nunavut and
the circumpolar north, and First Nations peoples in the Yukon.
