1001Cultural Centrality and Information and Communication Technology Among Canadian Youth

This paper examines the positions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis

(FNIM) peoples, and visible minorities as distances from the cultural “centre”

of White European culture. It then assesses the relation of information and communication

technology (ICT) to these locations among Canadian youth using

three data sets: the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey, the 2000 Youth in Transition

Survey (older cohort) and its 2002 follow-up, and a 2004–2005 survey collected

by the authors. Findings indicate that the idea of cultural centrality is useful in

locating FNIM groups and visible minorities vis-à-vis the cultural centre and

each other and highlighting the stratified heterogeneity of these groups. Access

to, use of, and development of ICT skills tend to mirror the relative positions of

these groups in terms of cultural centrality. Further, youth who retain close ties

with traditional culture are less likely to develop facility with ICT.
