Construction of the indigenous artefact has been in practice for thousands of years however, many differing views concerning the creation of the digitally formatted artefact are beginning to emerge. The increased use of IT artefacts globally has spurred debate as to what degree indigenous communityÃf¢Â€ÂÂ^TMs benefit from the usability of such technologies. One such challenge is delivering a sense of placement inside the IT artefact where the inherent and essential properties that give an indigenous object, person, or environment their meaning and significance is able to be digitally translated. Whilst the IT artefact may embrace the attributes of its developers and the intended users, the key issue here was for developers to understand the user and the indigenous community being represented. The problem arises when the developer's background differs dramatically from that of the user and the indigenous community. The metaphorical distance of the IT artefact from the users could pose problems to design, construction and enjoyment. To solve the problem posed, agreement is central whilst any deviation may misrepresent the indigenous community concerned creating ongoing disconnections to both heritage and traditions as a result.
