Charlotte Jane McNulty is a doctoral student exploring Indigenous storytelling in digital spaces, with a particular focus on Sámi communities. Her research examines the digital platforms used to shape expressions of community, land, and culture and the digital systems designed to support Indigenous ways of knowing. She collaborates with Lapin Yliopisto and Sámi Allaskulva on a project titled 'Indigenous Storytelling with New Media,' funded by Interreg Aurora. This project aims to empower Indigenous communities to document their own stories and develop tailored education and training programs for the audiovisual film sector. The initiative seeks to preserve Indigenous cultures by creating employment opportunities within the educational industry, fostering partnerships, enhancing media skills, and promoting Sámi culture while encouraging cross-border connections within Sápmi.
