    Abstract

    Researchers believe that traditional knowledge systems (TKS) can inspire technology design and the interactive design can help Aborigin Australians. Technologies used in connection with country are intractably linked to Australian politics as tribes have divergent views of geography. Besides this, using GPS and GIS systems to record, manage, and plan the use of land are problematic for a nonindigenous majority who fear the consequences of native title legislation. Sustaining a creative response to politics of place requires great personal efforts. Aboriginal linguistics and community workers are engaged in an interactive language-teaching software project. Besides this, designers may generalize the TKS in an undifferentiated way that is external to country. They may also access the TKS for their own particular research agendas by measuring success against their timelines.
