Ramesh Srinivasan's - article looks at how modern media technology can impact indigenous and ethnic communities in a positive way by utilizing database-driven networks in order to help met the needs of their cultural, political and social visions.
Srinivasan argues thorough work he has done he has developed a process where information systems can enable culturally and community-focused goals. Moreover incorporating participation from the people of those cultures and community's, where they can use information systems to preserve, share information and develop collective infrastructures...
Srinivasan - emphasises the process he took, specifically, relationship building he established through the community he was doing a case study on.
He states - "18 months (11/03–5/05) on the reservations, my goal became to develop bonds with as diverse a group of tribal elders,
leaders and institutions across all the reservations as much as possible."
This was a key component for his research to work. By building the nessersary relationship meant the project could interact with diverse networks and power structures across the reservations rather than inherently serve as a tool of those already in deeper connection with the SCTCA.
