*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
The objective of this special issue is to bring together a number of 
high-quality articles from people across the globe, belonging to or in 
close partnership with indigenous communities. We seek submissions from 
individuals and research groups who embrace practices and theories 
rooted in Indigenous Knowledge systems, are critical of existing 
tensions and trends while contributing to technology design in formal 
and informal learning contexts through a dialogical approach. The focus 
of the special issue is at the juncture of indigeneity and technology 
design within learning contexts.
Although research collaborations with indigenous communities have 
increased and the value of indigenous knowledge has long been 
recognised, the integration of indigenous knowledge and practices into 
formal education is lacking behind. Semali (1999) has attributed this to 
conflicting systems dominated by established academic institutes and 
procedures. Indigenous knowledge and peoples are at best regarded as 
“subjects” encapsulated within academic discourses. Extremely derogative 
accounts of Indigenous peoples and their cultures ranging from natural, 
wild to primitive individuals, incapable of attending to their own 
affairs can still be found (Semali & Kincheloe, 2002). The authors 
speculate that the term indigenous or the concept of indigenous 
knowledge tend to evoke condescension or at best little appreciation for 
the insight and understanding such knowledge might provide to 
individuals in a community and society at large (Semali & Kincheloe, 
2002). Thus neither are indigenous pedagogical practices considered in 
formal learning approaches, nor in ethical guidelines or other 
institutional regulations, nor are indigenous knowledge holders formally 
recognised. Consequently, the mainstream development of technologies for 
and within formal and informal learning contexts does not comprise 
indigenous ways of knowing or doing. Indigenous knowledge is once more 
reduced to “content” in the setting of technology design rather than 
being embraced in the approaches to design or for the technology design 
itself. This is apparent in many designs of digital cultural heritage 
safeguarding technologies, used in formal learning settings such as 
museums or educational institutes as well as for informal learning 
tools, often used in tourism.
Disseminating community-based intangible cultural heritage (ICH) often 
becomes contentious when subjected to digitisation technologies as means 
for knowledge transfer. One foreseeable dilemma is the subordination of 
ICH to digital technologies and their origins as constructions from 
dominant societies also ruling formal educational settings. On a more 
hidden layer there are the approaches which are governed by emancipatory 
and action research methodologies, but where inside matters of 
community-based biases towards own heritage challenges both the 
discourse on technology, representation and source alike (Rodil et al., 
2014). Technology being transported from elsewhere might not be so 
easily implemented in indigenous communities or aligned with their 
viewpoints, but that does not imply that technology is “anti-indigenous” 
(Mushiba and Asino, 2015). Rather it means that we should strive for 
more technology development from within and in collaboration (Rodil, 2017).
In the broader context of learning, we encourage authors to deconstruct 
mainframe paradigms and to embrace indigenous knowledge and practices 
within the design and technologies contributing to new approaches
