This online unconference is free. The objective is two-fold: to raise awareness of indigenous tourism options around the world and to improve digital literacy skills among the indigenous tourism providers themselves.

Everyone's invited. Our circle of conversation includes indigenous and non-indigenous peoples around the world. Many of our partners are the winners of the Indigenous Tourism and Biodiversity Website Award.

Talking points include biodiversity conservation, crafts, cultural heritage, food and literacy (traditional reading and writing and digital literacy -- the emerging read write culture).

Use social web to curate and share stories of starting up, collaborating and developing new initiatives. Online the Web this year curate has been a one of the key buzzwords as in //'If you can't create, curate.'//

Become online conference fit by registering for social web channels. You are encouraged to create your own materials. Be creative! Also, be generous. Applaud the work of others who inspire. Have fun.

Show us a future we can literally share.

Don’t wait for August. We encourage you to start a [|Twitter conversation] and to introduce yourself on the [|Facebook event page]. Our five primary channels of communication are this wiki, Ron's blog, Facebook event page, Ipadio and Twitter.

Financial sponsors are welcome to further the dialogue through innovative workshops and road trips. We are thinking of developing a concurrent kickstarter campaign. Please contact Ron Mader if you'd like to collaborate.

Promotion on Planeta.com's World Travel Directory
Planeta.com is offering a bonus (and VIP status) to businesses in our [|World Travel Directory] which feature indigenous culture. We'll extend the directory listing free for one month for businesses actively participating in Indigenous Peoples Week. Tour guides and companies not in the directory but which would like to support this event, [|may apply for a new listing].

Soundbytes
Ron Mader: "There are plenty of great examples of thriving indigenous tourism experiences around the world, people who are eager to share stories and engage with visitors. The social web is being used by indigenous peoples and visitors alike so we invite friends to share stories that inspire and educate us all."

Anders Kärrstedt: "Indigenous Peoples Week tests our abilities to see what's possible in terms of sharing information online in a timely manner. Hopefully we will share a lot of information about indigenous peoples worldwide."

Gameification
We want Indigenous Peoples Week to be fun. Keep an eye on this page as we figure out some incentives for participants. We'll use the gameification model as a start. For indigenous tourism businesses, artisans and museums, you might want to offer a discount or promotion. For participants who want visible recognition of their participation, we'll offer a certificate. If there other incentives that would motivate you to get stuck into Indigenous Peoples Week, let us know.

Frequently Asked Questions
The United Nations’ [|International Day of the World's Indigenous People] is observed on August 9 to promote the rights of the world’s indigenous population. We wrap our week around this day.
 * Why is Indigenous Peoples Week celebrated in August?**

We have chosen the format of an unconference -- a facilitated, participant-driven conference centered on a specific theme -- in order to catalyze a global conversation so that lessons can be shared around the world. This also allows us to co-create an event with a minimum budget. The organizers are volunteering their time and no charge is made of participants.
 * Why an unconference? What's an unconference?**

Anders Kärrstedt: Ethnic groups who are native to a land or region, especially before the arrival and intrusion of a foreign and possibly dominating culture. They are a group of people whose members share a cultural identity that has been shaped by their geographical region. A variety of names are used in various countries to identify such groups of people, but they generally are regarded as the "original inhabitants" of a territory or region.
 * Who are indigenous peoples?**

Indigenous tourism can be a guided trek, a meal, a night spent in an indigenous home or a visit to a museum or a performance. It can be manufactured or 100% authentic. What makes indigenous tourism responsible travel is when the locals and visitors are treated with mutual respect.
 * What is indigenous tourism?**

Awareness of indigenous tourism has matured in the past decade. Irresponsible actions -- exploitation -- are frequently headline news and the focal points of campaigns. However the promotion of indigenous tourism options has not enjoyed similar popularity, leaving visitors and locals alike with the notion that there is much to be wary and little to cheer for. That said, the intention of Indigenous Peoples Week is catalyze a productive conversation (and hopefully some real-time reservations) that support indigenous tourism. This is a call to action and we hope that Indigenous Peoples Week provides the needed wake-up call.
 * How has the awareness of indigenous tourism changed in the past ten years?**

[|Planeta.com], Nutti Sámi Siida, [|Guurrbi Tours], [|TIME Unlimited] and [|Nevada Magazine]
 * Who are the conference partners?**

The good news is that we have doubled the number of partners! There's more buzz, including nearly 10x as many views on Slideshare! What's new? The social web never sleeps nor stops creating new options, so we are testing out Google+, Foodspotting and Ranker. Ron will be recording a daily 'best of the tweets' as a podcast or screencast.
 * How is this year's Indigenous Peoples Week different than last year?**

We'd like this celebration to gently nudge everyone forward. We'll keep track of the number of participants who join and participate (aka engage!) via the social web. We'll highlight what participants bring forward on this page and ask everyone to rate or rank their favorites. We'll continue to count the number of views on the Slideshare presentation and encourage participants to comment and to upload their own presentations and documents. We'll work with guides and companies featured in Planeta.com's [|World Travel Directory] and see if this helps them articulate their connections to the indigenous world (and generate new business leads!). We will also count the number of media features and blogs that mention Indigenous Peoples Week. It's all about building a buzz that benefits us all.
 * How can we evaluate the success of Indigenous Peoples Week?**

My goals are ambitious:
 * How will you Ron Mader evaluate the success of Indigenous Peoples Week?**
 * I'd like at least five of the [|travel companies on Planeta.com] to talk up their work with indigenous peoples
 * I'd like at least five government pros to come on board and help edit the Planeta Wiki
 * I'd like at least five editors on the wiki to make contributions to the indigenous content on this site.
 * I'd like to motivate myself in creating a kickstarter campaign (or the like) to find financing to keep this running.
 * And I want to be inspired. I want those beautiful out-of-the-blue moments in which I learn something that is absolutely gobsmacking.
 * I want to hear from people I respect but whose names I've forgotten along the way ... Lost City Museum in Overton, the indigenous museum in Quito, that place with the wi-fi and wine in South Africa ...

Also ... I want to measure the # of Twitter changes for the partners
