Filming of the Indigenous presence in the global
community began in 1991 and continued parallel to the first International Decade
of the World's Indigenous People (1995-2004). A number of production teams on
several continents gathered Indigenous voices; documented dialogues, interviews,
global mega-conferences, parallel events; produced a body of related multimedia
resources and acquisitions in multiple languages to form an archive of content
which includes video, audio, photography, documents, slide presentations and a
website.
The e-learning component of the project has been presented at a number of
international distance education conferences in Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and
Spain. Multimedia programs were installed for public viewing at the Canadian
Museum of Civilization (Hull, Quebec 1993-94) and the Barcelona Universal Forum
of Cultures (2004).
The work has now evolved into a unique asset, an archive of material with
potential for creating collaborative partnerships in action. Dragonfly Blue
Productions Inc, a private sector diversified media company based in Vancouver,
Canada has developed a Plan of Action for the next ten years, the second
International Decade of the World's Indigenous People (2005-2014), in order to
ensure the return of those voices to these same communities using information
and communications technology.
