Abstract:
The scholarship and practice of responsibly navigating the disruptive possibilities of new technologies has yet to fully consider Indigenous worldviews. We draw on Indigenous-led research to reflect on research practices for responsibly navigating the introduction of aerial drones as a tool for local Indigenous co-managers to monitor and manage the World Heritage Areas. We co-developed protocols to guide Indigenous-led innovation–empowering Indigenous governance, developing ethical and trusted research relationships, and enabling on-going Indigenous-led technological innovation. The protocols were applied to negotiate and navigate the use of drone technology. These protocols provide a way for Indigenous cultural responsibilities for knowledge sharing and stewardship of country to guide and authorise the co-design and application of technological innovations.
