This book illustrates a pathway for knowledge production to benefit from
interweaving the seemingly disparate historical experiences of
Indigenous Peoples and computer science education. The resulting
practice of ancestral computing for sustainability holds the power to
mitigate the destructive forces of the field, while extending the
potential of traditionally underserved and unheard populations.
Reimagining the field of computer science, interwoven with traditional
lifeways, presents compelling new discoveries in research and harnesses
the rich tapestries that are Indigenous populations. Returning healthy
lifeways to a center stage long-occupied by tightly controlled,
Eurocentric learning methods opens worlds of opportunity that have felt
lost to time.
