  Propinquity between Australian Indigenous communities' social structures and
ICT purposed for cultural preservation is a modern area of research;
historically hindered by the "digital divide" thus limiting plentiful
literature and existing information systems in this field in theoretical and
practical applications. Henceforth, community consultation is mandatory in
deriving and delivering empirically effective processes in a cultural and
language preservation IS tool designed to teach future generations of
Indigenous Australians about native culture and language. More than 100 out of
250 languages spoken by Indigenous have become extinct since 1788 (Harrington,
2014) which inaugurates the urgency of this preservation tool. ICT has been
identified as the best provision method; by its capacity to best collect,
eternize and teach cultural knowledge and language. The aim of this research is
to specify requirements and considerations for the development of a socially
integrated, culturally conscious, end-user driven IS to preserve Indigenous
culture in Australia.
