NativeBio Data Consortium

If you are at National Congress of American Indianss this week and part of the NIH consultations, listening sessions and planning sessions, please check out the @d4itdr.bsky.social Tribal Data Repository www.youtube.com/watch?v=twp6...

The talk is titled, Driven by Love, Reclaiming Ancestral Data, Rising for Our Gente: The Resistance thru Indigenous Data Sovereignty, Because Our Communities Cant Wait Another 534 Years

The end of October, next week. s6.goeshow.com/sacnas/ndsc/...

Upcoming Native Bidaské: Why the 2026 Midterm Elections Matter for Indian Country With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, Native voters have an opportunity to shape policies affecting Tribal Nations, from education and health care to treaty rights, water access and public safety....

Just reminding everyone how long we have been around, the things we've done and are doing and how much we are fighting the good fight so that Tribal and the global indigenous can continue on for the next 7 generations. We are part of a network of extremely influential Native voices.

Indigenous genomic data is in demand from people trying to extract bio data without reciprocity or sovereignty. @nativebio.bsky.social is changing that, with a data repository & research center that advances indigenous health & tribal self -governance. Follow @kstsosie.bsky.social nativebio.org

We wholeheartedly congratulate and give our support to Dr. Lydia Johnson this monumental piece of work. Indigenous data sovereignty is a real thing! I hope it’s not too late for tribal nations to protect themselves www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

1/2 Please African diaspora , remember how the Ravens and state of Maryland have tried to hurt you many times. The event was scheduled for their home opener against the Cleveland Browns on September 17, 2017. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

This is fantastic. The Assembly of First Nations, the First Nations Information Governance Centre and the Ontario Chiefs have been progressively and rapidly moving forward on these Genomic, DNA, Data and Economic issues. Great to see! chiefs-of-ontario.org/chiefs-of-on...

A reminder, we are a non-profit organization that relies on philanthropy and tribal grassroots support to protect ALL THAT IS PRECIOUS to Indigenous people, their Primacy, their Sovereignty and their continuity of culture for the next 7 generations www.youtube.com/watch?v=c21y...

Today, a minor table correction was published on this fantastic paper from CEIGR (NativeBio as a co-author and contributor). If you missed, now is your chance to read it. www.frontiersin.org/journals/gen...

'Godfather of AI' says tech regulation is nearing Covid-style pivot moment ->The Guardian | More on "AI safety regulation and governance" at BigEarthData.ai | #AI #Tech

"While the lack of attention paid to tribal sovereignty or the oppression of indigenous persons in the Belmont Report may not be surprising given its historical context, it is the [bias of] individual rights that's perhaps most at odds with indigenous perspectives" bioethicstoday.org/blog/beyond-...

Come see us! This year’s Tribal Leaders Summit at UTTC in Bismarck portends to be one of the most well attended and inspiring!

Promoting our relative, Dr. Lydia Johnson! "Scholars seek to ensure Indigenous peoples have governance rights to data. [ ] in a manner that is consistent with supporting Indigenous peoples’ rights, interests, self-determination, collective benefit, & well-being." home.dartmouth.edu/news/2026/09...

Promoting the work of one of dependable colleagues, Bambi Ingraham from U. Alabama. She and department win awards for sustainable systems! NativeBio and Indigenous people need these kinds of experts and friends! generation180.org/blog/al-sola...

NativeBio continues to work among our growing Indigenous Network to share the necessary experience so that all American Indians, Alaska Natives & Pacific Islanders can retain their data, sovereignty & cultural practices in this ever-increasing Wild West Landscape of Technocracy. lnkd.in/p/gTgCr4KF

Re-sharing in case you missed it. Native Bio's piece called "AI, Genomics, and Tribal Sovereignty: Native Nations Need to Prepare for the Next Frontier" tribalbusinessnews.com/sponsored-co...

A 3-day, 2023 Workshop was held to talk about National, Tribal and Inter-tribal plans to handle the future (now, present) Big Data and AI landscape. NativeBio and CEIGR were there! www.frontiersin.org/journals/gen...

The Indigenous Data Sovereignty Movement cannot be stopped. In 2024, we submitted or worked on innovative decentralized grants with the Venter Institute, 100& Change with Stanford & African Nations &D4I TDR These ideas of secure, decolonized data sharing are spreading like wildfire. See here.

Data is the new natural resource. Native data is being extracted, monetized, & turned into other peoples' intellectual property. Now Crow Creek Chairman Peter Lengkeek is saying it plainly in Washington: It's about power, property, money, and self-determination. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8cJyXWg/

Data is the new natural resource. Indigenous peoples are watching it being extracted all over again. The question is simple: Who gets the data? Who gets the money? Who has legal authority to say yes or no? Indigenous Data Sovereignty is not a slogan. It is the next frontier of self-determination.

This commercial for NASDAQ ran on CNN and other places for almost 2 years. Since 2019, @nativebio.bsky.social has made such strides. Yet, the sentiments shared at 3 mins to the end of the video have yet to be realized. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3sg...

NativeBio is a leader in the Indigenous Data Sovereignty movement. We are agnostic to data and samples because we have to be. They are coming for everything. Everything that's left. We want to be a Safe Harbor and are a Safe Harbor. nativebio.org

From Australian, Pacific and Indigenous Data Sovereignty scholars world wide. Stand up before they hold you down and take all your stuff. datascience.codata.org/articles/10....

From Jim Sill and Harvard School of Indigenous Governance and Development (economies).... good stuff....read with intent. indigenousgov.hks.harvard.edu/sites/g/file...

NativeBio was invited to speak at the Genomics Standards Consortium in Aotearoa & give a lecture at the University of Otago. Co-Learning w/ our Indigenous relatives worldwide is necessary for alliances that are cultural, spiritual, political and financial. We hope that we furthered that worthy goal.

NativeBio is proud to share the news! Executive Director, Joe Yracheta will be a featured speaker at the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos & Native Americans in Science in Long Beach, CA October 29th thru the 31st, 2026 sacnas-19842608.hs-sites-na2.com/2026plenarys...

Native Bio is in Rotorua, NZ this week for the Genomics Standards Conference. Come check us out.

Thanks Dr. Betsy Nelson (Turtle Mountain Chippewa) for letting us put your visage on a T-shirt! On the back it says #MicrobiomeBack ! in your honor. Share far and wide!. www.bonfire.com/put-that-dow...

Please help out. Go buy a cool shirt! More and more Indigenous academics and professionals want their face on the "Put that down, It Belongs to the Indigenous" logo. #IDsov www.bonfire.com/store/native...

We deeply thank Drs Mackey, Fox and Robert Wood Johnson for completing this unique and groundbreaking work to help all peoples (especially the Indigenous) protect themselves from the Corporate Hoovering of all the data. Once again, Native Bio is leading the way. www.jmir.org/2026/1/e90247

Cool write up! And NativeBio was there! www.mcgill.ca/dna-to-rna/a...

Got Data? Well, if it's not yours give it back. Data is currency. Tribes have to protect their wealth and resources for the next 7 generations! www.bonfire.com/data-back/?p...

Indigenous Data Sovereignty also requires Indigenous Narrative Sovereignty. You know how you do that? Hire an Indigenous Evaluator! Thanks Nicky Bowman! www.bonfire.com/data-is-vital/

Do you believe in Indigenous Data Sovereignty (#IDsov)? Do you want people to know about it? Look at the front and back of this tee! www.bonfire.com/whefam/?prod...

Be a good steward. Be a good relative. Help life and the planet to thrive with better data. Respect All of Our Data! NEW T-shirt! www.bonfire.com/help-monarch...

New logo Tshirt! www.bonfire.com/new-logo-107/

New on our fundraising site. www.bonfire.com/put-that-dow...

Not sure who might see this. I am hoping the Association on American Indian Affairs, National Congress of American Indians, and Assembly of First Nations, but it lays out in pictures the problems, the ways to mitigate, and the quickly closing window in which to act!!
