Are you calling and emailing your House Reps? Because many Tribal Colleges will cease to exist with the cuts in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Tribal colleges are one of the few places where our Native languages are taught! It also cuts funding that supports tribal museums.

People have been using my work to justify generative AI at events & press that I have not commented on or consented to recently. AI requires much nuance, but generative AI tools that are trained on stolen data and have no regard for cultural accuracies will never be the way

A good reminder about AI and endangered Indigenous languages

It’s crazy that ChatGPT is capable of inventing new words that don’t exist in my endangered Indigenous language Anishinaabemowin. Indigenous languages must be handled with accuracy and care, and not be used to train tools like this from data scraping on the web

On this trans day of visibility let us be reminded that trans people have existed since before colonization and are still here. Being trans isn’t a new concept, and you’re on Indigenous land
