The Indigenous Digital Humanities Research Theme highlights the challenges of how to ethically work with Indigenous peoples and material in Digital Humanities research. Its primary objectives involve:
- reconnecting communities to their taonga and mātauranga held in the UK (and possibly Europe);
- fostering relationships between holding institutions, research groups and source communities;
- fostering joint, co-developed research, digital, non-digital and hybrid; and
- exploring options for producing culturally appropriate digital and analogue outputs/artifacts, beyond traditional academic outputs of monographs and papers.
