Abstract
Despite the proliferation of IT applications worldwide, Indigenous knowledge remains marginalized in the mainstream information technology (IT) and Information Systems (IS) discourse. This special section explores tensions and opportunities at the intersection of Indigenous knowledge and digital technologies, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive, inclusive, and ethical approaches to technological innovation. Bridging IT and Indigenous knowledge systems can foster environmental sustainability, digital equity, and social justice while preserving rich cultural heritage. This editorial introduces the special section, which presents ground-breaking research demonstrating the role of IT in Indigenous financial inclusion, culturally sensitive partnerships, and community empowerment. It also calls for increased interdisciplinary scholarship to advance IT solutions that respect and amplify Indigenous voices. By recognizing Indigenous knowledge as a pillar of sustainable innovation, IT and IS research can contribute to a just and inclusive technological future.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
