The Ali Curung findings reveal some of the complexities of digital inclusion in remote Indigenous communities. While local patterns of use suggest the internet is an important lifeline for those in remote communities, accessing it comes at a higher cost than it does for those in the cities and towns.
We respectfully acknowledge the Baarkandji, Eastern Kuku Yalanji, Erubam Buaigiz, Warumungu, Anmatyerr, Yolŋu (Djambarrpuyŋu, Gupapuyŋu, Djinang, Dhuwala) Kwini, Kulari, Bardi, Dinnuman and other traditional owners for the lands on which Mapping the Digital Gap research was conducted. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today, and to their Ancestors and Elders, past and present. We also acknowledge the Traditional Custodians and their Ancestors of the lands and waters across Australia where we work, live and undertake our research.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website contains images and names of deceased persons.
