This paper explores how indigenous peoples negotiate with their state and
mainstream narratives by glocalizing indigenous political and cultural identities through
virtual spaces offered by digital technology or information and communication
technology (ICT). The first section makes an announcement of its concern about how
globalization and indigeneity at some points can involve themselves in an act of mutual
making, a process of glocalization (localization + globalization). The second section
offers a theoretical paradigm of globalization as a network of techno-culture and
indigenous identity politics. The third section focuses on the Nepali indigeneity in the
light of mutual influence between it and global indigenous issues as well as ICT. As
indigenous peoples cannot stop the irresistible influence of global networks and flows
(e.g., sociocultural and economic), they have to rather locate their political and cultural
issues and identities in the very loci of globalization, mainly in the networks of technoculture
and international indigenous politics. The Nepali indigenous community
organizations’ intermediary efforts have been rendered successful by the use of ICT
and the strategic deployments of international indigenous forums like the United Nations
Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII).
