Hello @science.org NativeBio has been on the forefront of this conversation from 2019 and even earlier (UW Indigenous grad school members Keolu Fox, Moroni Benally, Chad Uran, Marisa Duarte, Katrina Claw and many more). We've been on @scifri.bsky.social WAMU's 1A. We built the @d4itdr.bsky.social

Once again, sharing our groundbreaking paper. We did a lot of good work to forward the practice of #IDSov but it's incomplete and we need to be allowed to finish so that we can all move forward together and be competitive on the Global Tech and Science playing field. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's incredible the amount of tone-deafness that academia and scientists have. These folks are accused of being "woke" and anti-American....but when it comes to Indigenous people of the Americas, they are as Settler Colonial as the next guy.

1/2 More good news! While the Vatican and other settler-colonial institutions must do more, up until now, museums and Governments have refused to return Indigenous artwork, funerary and biological (bodies) cultural artifacts to People of the Americas. At best, it gets sent as a "LOAN" to Tribes.

Lack of Congressional oversight and action over new and powerful technologies since 1996 and the data generated by them that point to new assets or extractable resources is not a bug but a feature. northdakotamonitor.com/2025/03/30/t...
Tribes, long shut out from their own health data, fight for access and sovereignty • North Dakota Monitor
Often, data gathered by and about tribes has been shared with state and federal agencies; but those same agencies haven’t always shared their tribal-related statistics in return.

We gotta act and talk about "community" when it comes to FAIR. Big time genomicists are being naive, arrogant, egotistical and downright criminal when they say FAIR serves the community. It doesn't. It serves only big monied researchers with private IP contracts with corporations.
