GFIPIS Delegate Laughing Horse (USA) will speak again Wed. Dec. 10, 11:20 am, CICG, room 3, Human Rights Workshop: Cyber-Activism. He is proposing a connectivity project (hardware and software) that overcomes the unique obstacles preventing Indigenous communities in the developing world from joining the Information Society. This digital divide is complicated by linguistic differences, education, remote environment and lack of infrastructure and leads to Human Rights and Intellectual Property violations. His talk will feature images from his tribal pictographs, websites he has published about the History of his tribe and the recent California Governor Recall Election and a CD he distributes to generate support to protect a Kawaiisu sacred area.
