Dolezal Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/it_etd Part of the Library and Information Science Commons Recommended Citation Dolezal, Jake A., "The Impact of Cultural Assumptions about Technology on Choctaw Heritage Preservation and Sharing" (2013).

It has been accepted for inclusion in School of Information Studies - Dissertations by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT Neither the effects of information and communication technology (ICT) on culture nor the cultural roles of ICT are widely understood, particularly among marginalized ethno-cultures and indigenous people. One theoretical lens that has received attention outside of Native American studies is the theory of Information Technology Cultures, or “IT Culture,” developed by Kaarst- Brown. This theory was a groundbreaking and foundational way to understand underlying assumptions about IT and the conflicts surrounding IT use. Kaarst-Brown identified five archetypal cultural patterns or sets of “underlying cultural assumptions” about IT that impacted strategic use, conflict, and technology innovation. These dimensions included assumptions about the control of IT, criticality of using IT, value of IT skills, justification of IT investments, and perceived beneficiaries of IT. These dimensions clustered in five archetypal patterns: the Fearful, Controlled, Revered, Demystified, and Integrated IT Culture.

  • Tribes of Oklahoma – Request for Information for Teachers (Oklahoma Academic Standards for Social Studies, OSDE)
    Tribes of Oklahoma – Request for Information for Teachers (Oklahoma Academic Standards for Social Studies, OSDE) Tribe:_____The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma____________________ Tribal website(s): www.choctawnation.com______________________ 1. Migration/movement/forced removal Oklahoma History C3 Standard 2.3 “Integrate visual and textual evidence to explain the reasons for and trace the migrations of Native American peoples including the Five Tribes into present-day Oklahoma, the Indian Removal Act of 1830, and tribal resistance to the forced relocations.” Tribal oral traditions tell of a west to east migration of the tribe to present day Alabama and Mississippi. This was precipitated by two brothers, Chikasha and Chata, and their willingness to follow the Ofi Tohbi (White Dog). Other oral traditions speak of an emergence from two areas, one in present day Mississippi (Nanih Waiya; sloping hill) and the other in Alabama (Nanih Chaha; high hill). For hundreds of years before Europeans came to the United States, the Choctaw Nation was a tribe of farmers who lived in what is now the southeastern U.S. until the federal government forcibly removed most tribal members in 1830 to Southeastern Oklahoma in what became known as the “Trail of Tears.” Oklahoma History C3 Standard 2.7 “Compare and contrast multiple points of view to evaluate the impact of the Dawes Act which resulted in the loss of tribal communal lands and the redistribution of lands by various means including land runs as typified by the Unassigned Lands and the Cherokee Outlet, lotteries, and tribal allotments.” In 1897 the Dawes Commission negotiated the extinction of tribal governments and most tribally owned lands were distributed among tribal members.
