The #IDsov Movement can't be stopped. In 2024, we submitted or worked on innovative decentralized grants with the Venter Institute, 100& Change w/Stanford & African Nations & D4I TDR These ideas of secure, decolonized datasharing are spreading like fire. zenodo.org/records/22149365

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! piped.video/watch?v=y32aUFVf…

Make no mistake, what's happening today is a big Wild West attempt at a data grab paired with Oligarchical control of the underclass, to solidify the current hierarchy of power. #IDSov is the most advanced resistance philosophy & antidote to this dystopian vision.

Hey! Did you know that NativeBio has funded students at Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) to look at their major (no matter what it is) from the perspective of Tribal Sovereignty? We have and it's been great. Topics from Women's Rights to Language to Media production!
