Summary|Documentation|Hawai'i During our meeting in Glastonbury our team drew up some principles and procedures for documentation, including the following points: (click here for photos) This project is about the wisdom of the Elders. It is important therefore that all documenting of the project meets with the approval of the Elders involved. We will arrange for Elders to (i) participate in the discussions of how we record what is happening at the gatherings (ii) to see what documentation we have produced during the gatherings (iii) to approve and give their blessing to the products (e.g. books and films) that we produce. We are developing new ways of documentation, both in gathering and in editing and producing our materials. Our work should evolve as part of the process of the Council, rather than defining it in advance. We will seek languages and ways of documenting that are sensitive to the culture of the places where we are working. A challenge for the western documenters will be to themselves participate in the journey towards indigenous mind, but where necessary still to be able to reflect their insights back to the western world. The meeting also developed an initial list of possible outcomes of the documenting process, including books, videos, television films, audiotapes, photography, websites and culturally specific ways of recording events, such as traditional dance. All of the primary material will be archived for future research. The audiences for the materials produced during the Elder’s Council Project include tribal elders, the Ford Foundation and other funding bodies, and people around the world interested in and inspired by the insights of tribal culture and indigenous knowledge.
