Indigenous Ways of Understanding in Digital Spaces consists of ten chapters that explore how educators, technologists, and communities can deconstruct Eurocentric defaults in educational technology (EdTech) to create relational, holistic, and culturally safe virtual learning environments. The core thesis posits that digital platforms are not neutral tools. Learning Management Systems (LMS), online algorithms, and EdTech frameworks often enforce individual competition and linear progression. By centering Indigenous epistemologies—such as relationality, oral tradition, collective governance, and land-based connection—digital education can transform from a transactional, screen-bound exercise into a dynamic vehicle for cultural preservation, intergenerational healing, and Indigenous self-determination.
