Hi world of Philanthropy & @nativegiving.bsky.social @ncig2013.bsky.social @mediaindigena.bsky.social @indigenousdatalab.bsky.social @fnigc.bsky.social we're glad Patrick McGovern took a chance on our 501C3. Native Governance, oversight, rights, & OCAP aren't popular. Together we'll change that!

Amid NIH funding delays, reversals and uncertainty, a scientist at Harvard who studies breast cancer has lost one-third of her lab employees and wonders if she can continue her research experiments. n.pr/4a4N3zD

Remember over the summer, when Trump urged reporters to start digging through mortgage records, looking for officials who might’ve committed fraud? Months later, it’s hard not to wonder whether he regrets issuing such a challenge. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

"The thing is, even if you're just thinking in terms of fiscal value, having gone through a degree program and being able to put it on your resumé/CV isn't the most significant return on your investment: the way you have further developed your mind is."

It is a scientist's meditation on the prose of two poets: Natasha Trethewey and Robert Frost, who both wrote about how our ability to analyze metaphor and figurative language shape our ability to understand the world This essay is a key text for my book: www.southerncultures.org/article/you-...

This is what NativeBio is trying to fight. DNA is a business, estimated to be worh $172 billion/year by 2035. We live in a glut of information, including disinformation. The Genomics field already has a history of racism, power dynamics, data theft, surgical/chemical sterilization and murder.

1/3 Ok, I get how "the 3rd World" is a pejorative, but #GlobalSouth, just like "I don't see color" is a neoliberal erasure of the actual problem. There are many "European" countries in the south, like Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and Chile. East Asian www.numberanalytics.com/blog/ultimat...

To those with a shared vision of future with a multipolar world where everyone benefits, we're definitely at a cross-roads which has the potential to become very violent (physical, economic, environmental). There's another path. #BELIEVE We all have to commit to it. www.geopol.uk/what-is-a-mu...

Manifest Destiny and Monroe Doctrine are still being forwarded in Latin America. The Indian Wars never ended & they've really heated up since Pinochet in Chile, Musk in Bolivia & now in Venezuela. They want the land, the water, resources & the DNA from our dead bodies www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Lots of ignorance about Turkeys, including their domestication, why they are named Turkeys, how many species of Turkeys there are and their distribution across the Americas. Remember Benjamin Franklin wanted Turkeys as the USA National symbol for a reason? www.sapiens.org/archaeology/...

Data in today’s world is King. Indigenous peoples of the Americas have so much unrealized data. Be careful in a land that is becoming increasingly anti-indigenous. The reason for their actions & propaganda is this “new gold”. Remember, Musk said “We’ll coup anyone we want, anytime we want!”

Leave them there 🤷🏻‍♀️‼️

Money doesn’t change you — it exposes you. Wealth only amplifies the habits, discipline, and character you built long before the money arrived. If you want richer outcomes, build a richer mindset. Strengthen who you are, and your wealth will naturally follow. 🎥 www.youtube.com/@Armada.Chan...

I’d add, “I can participate in research, science, art and/or agriculture without fear my people’s ancient knowledge, land and evolutionary history will be robbed and sold to the uber wealthy and be sold back to me at a price I can’t afford.”

@alondra.bsky.social @kimtallbear.bsky.social @ruha9.bsky.social Whoops?!! See what I predicted? Open data is dangerously putting us all in the hands of unethical and powerful people. Good intentions can only do so much. Strategy & vision do more. www.science.org/content/arti...

We don’t just look like them Jorge, we are them. Mestizaje is a self-destructive myth.

Wow if this doesn’t perfectly embody Settler Colonial vs Amerindigenous relations, i don’t know what does.
