Great #data #sovereignty READ! Thanks @samjscience @Nature featuring @NativeBio and cofounders @kstsosie @kfox @science_punx “How rapidly we can sequence.. create data... commodify — I don’t think that the policy has caught up,” says Fox.

2/2 way to regulate, control, hide, share and use their own data. #IDSov doesn't have to be a "stalemate". The solutions are out there! https://t.co/wF54FmITKB

1/2 Important message for today! Here at NativeBio, Indigenous Data Alliance and D4I Tribal Data Repository we've known for a long time that our current era as coming and we know where it might go badly if Tribes and Indigenous people do not find a https://t.co/wF54FmITKB

Knowing this information cannot be overexpressed right now. Bill C5 in Canada and Trump's Big Beautiful Bill are huge threats to Indigenous Data Sovereignty. We aren't anyone's "BioProperty". Tribes, Tribal Leaders, Tribal attorneys & their citizens, look! https://t.co/7qHR5g2KrF

So glad to have this to share finally. Our video is at ~58 mins. We are so grateful to Joseph Kunkel at Model of Architecture Serving Society (MASS) and Abundant Futures event planners for giving us the opportunity to be there! https://t.co/61xPpT2WNQ

These National Data Resources which may be developed into intellectual property & solutions have become recognized a valuable to National Security, economic sustainability &/or political power. Ironic that Indigenous ppls have led this movement while being targets of exploitation

1/2 Native BioData Consortium was a leader in Data Sovereignty since 2009 and now every nation on the planet is worried about building local sovereign infrastructure to protect data resources from prying eyes, "open data" and datascraping AI tools. https://t.co/Ru53TL5Hqe

The Data Landscape (wild wild west) is on Fire right now. We are available to help with DNA, medical record data, environmental data & a whole lot more. Please, if you are indigenous, private, public or Tribal government, reach out. We will try & give you the best advice we can.

@Pontifex warns about data theft. “Even today, colonialism assumes new forms. It no longer dominates only bodies, but appropriates data, transforming personal lives into exploitable information [in order to] determine who and what is deemed to matter." https://t.co/9xhiMwB3n4

If US tribal leaders, need language. #IDSov. From #Resolution11: "The centralization & sharing of DNA data w/out explicit First Nations governance & consent risks violating First Nations data sovereignty & repeating colonial patterns of data extraction." https://t.co/ltLT8JnLQv

#IDSov needs more hands, more thinkers, more lawyers and more Tribally Elected officials to stand up and take action. #TheWindowIsClosing

While two representatives of NativeBio are here in Boulder, CO @ the GoldLab Symposium, I wanted to remind everyone that NativeBio isn't just a Repository but also a STEAM Hub for Native students. Please give big ups to our Tribal Liaison, Burt Dillabaugh https://t.co/WYiw4n05yb

Canada, the "nice Settlers" are showing their evil side. After the passage of Bill C5 and the Assembly of First Nations series of resolutions against it in Sept 2025, the Canadian provinces are punching back hard. We aren't sure there are "Nice Settlers" https://t.co/00qD1bZHcT.

We have to put a stop to the Polite debate and tone policing tactics of Academia and other spaces. We have to assert our will in every venue. We do not need to ask permission or negotiate power. This video is such a good example of First Nations power. https://t.co/LBQknZ8XuV

[Native BioData Consortium @NativeBio]

Our work with Bridge2AI and AIREADI has been so rewarding. We are honored to work with such high-level academics and thought leaders in the AI space. We were happy to host the AIREADI Teaming, Data Tools and Data Collection Primary Investigators In the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation

Indigenous data sovereignty isn't new. What's new is the scale of demand for data and the risk that decisions get made without tribes at the table. Joseph Yracheta of @NativeBio explains why tribal leadership matters now. #sponsored

The US Indigenous Data Sovereignty Network, Data Warriors Lab, Collaboratory for Indigenous Data Gov, all under the Indigenous Data Alliance & their conference was a rousing success. Listen to just a taste of Indigenous Revival with Sierra & WariNkwi! https://t.co/U6B4oaTVtc

Come down to Tucson for the record breaking, world changing, planet saving & smartest conference in the history of Earth. Learn how Indigenous people have been building their unique vision for our collective future! CRST Chairman will be the new advocate https://t.co/0CliwpRQ2n

SPONSORED: The issue isn’t whether tribal data is being used. It is.
The question is who sets the terms.
The U.S. Indigenous Data Sovereignty & Governance Summit (April 14–17, Tucson + hybrid) is about what tribal leaders do next.

81,000 people told @AnthropicAI they fear AI making decisions without oversight. PJMF is investing in the civil society organizations building the accountability structures that put communities in control of how AI shows up in their lives. Learn how: https://t.co/S5fgMGmwef
