Digital Democracy and Iepé recently collaborated on a series of intensive workshops aimed to support the Indigenous communities of the Tumucumaque and Paru D’Leste Indigenous Territories in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, neighboring Suriname.
For the first time ever, using a new feature called Explore Terrastories, some of the content that communities have been creating on Terrastories can be explored freely without needing to log in.
Explore Terrastories, a freshly released feature, weaves a new bridge between local processes and a broader public, with access to specific place-based stories that communities have decided to share online.
This network of people and organizations met together in the Ecuadorian Amazon in May 2023, during the Earth Defenders Toolkit Gathering, convened by Digital Democracy. In this video, partners and allies from Waorani, Siona, Wayana and Mohawk territories, share their experiences with using these tools and the inspiring connections that were nourished at the Gathering.
We have made a method to gather all three kinds of data used by Terrastories (Stories, Speakers, and Places) in one instance, using OpenDataKit, KoboToolbox, or other XLSform applications.
Indigenous groups are developing data storage technology that gives users privacy and control. Could their work influence those fighting back against invasive apps?
The Earth Defenders Toolkit has been translated into Khmer, Swahili, Thai, and Vietnamese, in its entirety.

The Wayana area has a total area of 24,865 square kilometers and is located in the southeast of the country. That came out on Monday at the presentation of George Awankaroe who was closely involved in the demarcation process. This area is home to 862 indigenous people and has nine villages.
