Media Literacy and Media Access
E5.3 analyse the role of media literacy and media access in promoting the work of contemporary First Nations, Métis, and Inuit media creators, drawing on evidence from a variety of techno- logical initiatives to support their conclusions (e.g., the use of social media to disseminate media texts reflecting Indigenous perspectives on issues that affect First Nations, Métis, and Inuit commu- nities and individuals; the introduction of accessible and affordable technology and media platforms; the expansion of broadband systems to deliver public service to remote and rural First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities; initiatives to support local decision making about specific community technology needs)
Sample questions: “Do you think contemporary First Nations, Métis, and Inuit media texts have become more accessible through the use of contemporary social media platforms? Why,
or why not? What barriers might remote and rural media creators face in using these social media?” “How does the First Nations Innovation project support First Nations ownership and control of, and access to, information and com- munication technologies and infrastructure?”
