ABSTRACT

‘Trust in the System’ is contentious, if not spurious for many Indigenous Internet users. ‘Trust’ signifies as a term that embodies (and disembodies) our experiences from over 200 years of colonisation. Research has shown that Indigenous people have typically been early adopters of digital technologies. Over the last decade or so, social media technologies have gradually become a central part of our everyday lives. These platforms offer opportunities to connect across vast distances and diverse populations. They provide a space to express one’s identity, connect with community, learn, play, seek love, organise political action, find lost friends and family, search for employment, seek help in times of need – and much more. Indigenous people have made particular use of social media for agitating for social justice. Information can be distributed, events coordinated and alliances spontaneously forged across great distances largely outside of the surveillance and control of state actors. Assessing the actual impact of online activism is not a straightforward matter – any concept of ‘trust in the system’ demands that we begin to infiltrate that system in order to force ‘it’ to incorporate the views and experiences of Indigenous actors and activists online.

土著互联网用户:学会相信自己

摘要

对于许多土著互联网用户来说,“对系统的信任”即使不是虚假的,也是有争议的。“信任”的意思是一个体现(和不体现)我们 200 多年殖民经验的术语。研究表明,原住民通常是数字技术的早期采用者。在过去十年左右的时间里,社交媒体技术逐渐成为我们日常生活的核心部分。这些平台提供了跨越遥远距离和不同人群进行联系的机会。他们提供了一个空间来表达自己的身份、与社区联系、学习、玩耍、寻求爱、组织政治行动、寻找失去的朋友和家人、寻找工作、在需要时寻求帮助等等。土著人民特别利用社交媒体来鼓动社会正义。信息可以分发,事件协调并自发地跨越很远的距离结成联盟,主要是在国家行为者的监视和控制之外。评估在线激进主义的实际影响并不是一件简单的事情——任何“对系统的信任”的概念都要求我们开始渗透到该系统中,以迫使“它”在网上吸收土著演员和激进主义者的观点和经验。
