LOCATION

DESCRIPTION

  • Part one: The value of digital archives

  • Part two: Ownership and access

  • Part three: Recommendations

International Indigenous rights, as defined by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), affirm that Indigenous Peoples can freely exercise self-determination and control over their own cultural heritage. This session will examine how broadcasters, many of them non-Indigenous institutions, are handling the preservation and provision of access to archival materials that include Indigenous voices, stories, histories, knowledge, as well as documentation of human rights abuses. Panellists will share their experiences of the role of public service media in upholding these rights while managing and sharing these vital documents.
