Indigenous New Media Symposium | School of Media Studies, The New School (2/21/14) by INMS2014-NYC

The Indigenous New Media Symposium brought together Native American and First Nation media makers and creative activists to discuss how new media platforms are being used in the indigenous community to educate, organize, entertain, and advocate. In the past few years blogs, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other tools have become important mechanisms to communicate indigenous perspectives in North America. Traditional media's long history of native stereotypes is being confronted by a new tech-savvy young generation that is speaking out strongly about cultural, political and economic issues. This symposium will also discuss other pertinent issues surrounding native media participation such as North America's digital divide, media effectiveness and identity issues.

Participants included: Adrienne Keene (Native Appropriations), Dr. Jessica Metcalfe (Beyond Buckskin), Jarrett Martineau (RPM.fm, Nations Rising), Chase Iron Eyes (Last Real Indians), Clayton Thomas-Muller (Idle No More).

Sponsored the School of Media Studies at The New School. February 21st, 2014
