So, what’s Indigenous Data Sovereignty and why do we care about it so much? Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDS) encapsulates the inherent right of Indigenous Peoples to possess, manage, access, and preserve data pertaining to our communities and cultures

Today is the 100 year anniversary of US citizenship being extended to most Native Americans for the first time.

These institutions were not built for us. These institutions do not protect us. There is a through line, centuries old, that emboldened what these places uphold: settler colonialism & genocide.

"Indigenous-led research also requires addressing the well-documented institutional barriers that limit full participation and visibility of Indigenous worldviews. Certain embedded protocols may be at odds with Indigenous ethics, values, and processes."

Just heard that one of our fluent speakers who was also one of my language mentors passed away. This is absolutely devastating. My heart is on the ground.

@chavmal Yay!!! I am so excited for you! Congrats on embarking on a new chapter 💕

We always need to be asking the question: sustainable for whom?

If your energy strategies include mining Indigenous Peoples homelands for metals, it is not sustainable, it's green colonialism.

Some critical clarifications:

- colonialism is not a past event
- whiteness is not simply about white people
- race is not a biological trait
- racism is not limited to individual prejudice
- anti-Blackness is not a localized structure

Our dog knows way too many phrases now, so my husband and I have resorted to talking like Victorian nobility to get anything by him. "Have you taken the dog on a brisk adventure recently? Would you escort the canine to the backyard, forthwith? Has he supped yet?"

In the thick of drafting my thesis and it’s come to the point where I just scroll up and down endlessly trying to find that one specific paragraph.

And of course finding more issues to iron out while scrolling.

If he:

-Changes his entire look for you
-Travels 1,900 miles upstream to chase you
-Procreates and dies
-Replenishes an entire ecosystem with his carcass

He's not your valentine, he's a Chinook salmon

If you hear a presentation by an Indigenous person about their work, please don’t go up to them afterwards and tell them how “noble” they are for doing their work.

[IllumiNative @IllumiNative]

Even when there are laws institutions with power may not respect them. Our lands, our artifacts, and even our ancestor's remains are still wrongfully taken to this day. We deserve more than to STILL be fighting for what is ours time and time again.

Movie idea: Indiana Jones, but the main character is Indigenous who breaks into museums and reclaims stolen artifacts.

As an anthropologist, I always enjoy logging on here & reading unequivocal assertions that there’s exactly 1 way in which everyone in a world of 8 billion people should think, communicate, & comport themselves lol
