How Modern Technology Empowers Indigenous Communities

 

Chris Rainier

National Geographic Society Fellow

Now in the 21st century we are witnessing an unprecedented expansion of digital communication around the globe - connecting a myriad of humanity and traditional cultures together with modern society. This will allow powerful new communications and solutions to the world’s most challenging issues of climate change, food supply and population.

Using the power of photography, National Geographic Society Fellow Chris Rainier will take us on a journey into indigenous cultures that are using computers, smart phones, cameras and video to archive and preserve their quickly disappearing ancient traditions. He will show clear examples of how they use traditional knowledge and modern technology to conserve precious resources and create sustainable models that can thrive on a global level.
