Abstract
Indigenous Domain discusses the limitations of current colonial paradigms for cyberspace which try to rope off “commons” or “reservations” for the public good, but which still operate within a larger colonial framework. The paper proposes alternatives to the prevailing colonial paradigm of the “commons” and “copyleft” based on models drawn from indigenous culture, permaculture and digital culture.
