International Indigenous ICT Task Force: The Indigenous Caucus at the 2005 World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Tunis decided to progress indigenous initiatives developed at WSIS. WSIS was a two-phase series, United Nations (UN) sponsored summit about information and communication.
Article 15 of the WSIS Declaration states:
“In the evolution of the Information Society, particular attention must be given to the special situation of Indigenous peoples, as well as to the preservation of their heritage and their cultural legacy.”
From these events came the WSIS Declaration and Plan of Action, as well as the Declaration and Plan of Action of the Global Forum of Indigenous Peoples and the Information Society. This web presence is a continuation of the WSIS work
