Potential Abstract: Indigenous education programs have increasingly incorporated digital technologies, including virtual reality platforms like the metaverse, to engage students in culturally responsive ways. However, these initiatives exist within contested spaces, where power dynamics and cultural narratives intersect. This study examines the implementation and impact of indigenous programs in the metaverse through a novel research method that combines traditional qualitative approaches with data analytics and machine learning algorithms. By integrating indigenous perspectives and voices into the research process, this study seeks to illuminate the complexities of navigating cultural sovereignty, technological innovation, and educational outcomes within the digital realm.
