Not sure who might see this. I am hoping the Association on American Indian Affairs, National Congress of American Indians, and Assembly of First Nations, but it lays out in pictures the problems, the ways to mitigate, and the quickly closing window in which to act!!

Summer Internship for Indigenous Peoples in Genomics 2026 -SING USA doing our Sunday meditation session. Portends to be a great week (save for the smoke from Canada. Condolences and good thoughts for our First Nations & Metis relatives).
NativeBio attended SING Canada, participated in discussions with the Canada's Genome experts, and Krystal Tsosie was the keynote at the MILA Indigenous AI Conference!
NativeBio just became aware of this interesting presentation. We see many intersections & implications for Tribal Sovereignty, Foster Care, biological & mineral resources, identity, cultural & traditional practices etc. Please look to us & our network of scholars as a service to Tribal protections.

This is very good. He describes Jevon's Paradox & two past examples where technology blew up social expense or kept its promise to make life more sustainable. What is remarkable is that the "human factor" is the largest variable. Can we stop "wanting" or ever be happy? m.youtube.com/watch?v=a6sY...

1/2 Pretty good paper. Especially pgs 1199-1203. But she doesn't cover AI, proxy data (federal data silos as circumventions of Tribal sovereignty), and technical threats like DNA residues and medical waste. She, like many, seem to focus on more collection as a manifestation of justice and equity,

From 38:11 to 40:00 min, Dr. Tabery indirectly references policies coming out of Canada (re: Knoppers) & Nagoya (GBFF & GEF) are defined, agreed to and decided upon unidirectionally by Non-Indigenous. Sets up a dangerous precedent on what is "good", who has agency, & who gets benefits/remuneration.
