Computing Technologies for Resilience, Sustainability, and Resistance (2023)

unapi

Māori has long used computing technologies for cultural resilience, linguistic survival, social revitalization and resistance, and economic sustainability. Individuals have used various technologies, hapū, subtribe, iwi, tribe, academic institutes, innovators, activists, communities, industry leaders, computer scientists, programmers, historians, geographers, translators, linguists and te reo Māori, the Māori language teachers as a mechanism to connect Māori to their language, whakapapa, genealogy, whānau, family, and mātauranga, knowledge, culture and identity. In this article, we highlight some of the ICT initiatives Māori have undertaken and showcase some of the real successes that we have had over the past three decades, from Te Wahapū, translations of the Microsoft and Google, to the Niupepa, Māori Newspaper collection, to some of the work that is currently being done in the areas of xR, which encompasses augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality, machine learning techniques, text-to-speech and speech-to-text conversion, and social media platforms.
