The e-learning component of the project has been presented at a number of international distance education conferences in Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and Spain. Multimedia programs were installed for public viewing at the Canadian Museum of Civilization (Hull, Quebec 1993-94) and the Barcelona Universal Forum of Cultures (2004).
The work has now evolved into a unique asset, an archive of material with potential for creating collaborative partnerships in action. Dragonfly Blue Productions Inc, a private sector diversified media company based in Vancouver, Canada has developed a Plan of Action for the next ten years, the second International Decade of the World's Indigenous People (2005-2014), in order to ensure the return of those voices to these same communities using information and communications technology.
