Adopted Mukurtu
Catawba Indian Nation
The Catawba Indian Nation uses the open-source Mukurtu platform to curate and manage its digital heritage, asserting community control over the documentation of its history. Mukurtu's cultural protocols let the Nation manage multimedia collections and share heritage on its own terms rather than through open-access defaults, reducing the risk of external exploitation. The platform supports oral histories, photographs and records under community-defined access, reflecting a wider move by tribal nations toward Indigenous-controlled digital archives. A US example of a tribal nation adopting Mukurtu to steward its collections.
