#BraveHeartSociety Issues Urgent Warning on #ArtificialIntelligence and #DataCenters

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 8, 2026

Excerpt: "#FaithSpottedEagle, #Ihanktonwan, delivered an urgent warning today about artificial intelligence and data centers, imperiling the future of our water.

" 'I come to you on this beautiful day with an urgent message. Many times in our past as #NativePeople various #messengers have come to warn us of frightening, hurtful invasions that are coming. There is one coming immediately -- and it is here and it is called artificial intelligence."

"Spotted Eagle said artificial intelligence is developing these data centers, and they are sounding the alarm, to all relatives, including the non-Native people, that this is really going to be the last blow to our land and water.

" 'It takes billions of water to run these data centers, and it is known to enhance cancer, it is just a multiple of dangers that are coming.'

" 'So our main concern is the unborn, we have to be at this point in history,' warned Spotted Eagle, director of the Women's #OhitikaOkodakiciye (Brave Heart Society) and chair of the Ihanktonwan Treaty Committee.

" 'Just like #ThomasBanyacya, #SittingBull, and #ChiefSeattle, they foresaw the future and we are seeing the future right this minute, and so we ask, implore you to join us, united together, as relatives as all races, to stop these data centers from stealing our water.'

" 'The invasion is coming again.'

"Speaking in an urgent video address today, #ElijahSmall, biologist for the Brave Heart Society, joined Spotted Eagle and described how the data centers bring an unbelievable harm to the communities.

" 'These data centers are energy consumptive. They warm the river water and dump that water back into our rivers and streams. This could have a profound effect on both the natural environment and the fish that we rely upon.' "

"Voices from the Barrens, #NativePeople, #Blueberries and #Sovereignty, documents the wild blueberry harvest of the Wabanaki #IndigenousPeople from the USA and Canada as the tribes are challenged to balance blueberry hand raking traditions with the economics of the world market. The documentary was filmed from 2014 to 2019 and was released in 2020. It has been part of nine film festivals, part of the Maine Public’s Film Series, and at many colleges and universities across Maine and New England.

"Pre-Registration to view the film and to participate in the online panel discussion is required, please sign up below. Registrants will receive a follow up email with instructions and a link to the film and event.

"Nancy Ghertner, the film’s director, lives along Lake Ontario in New York. She was introduced to the Passamaquoddy at Sipayik while she was a student at Colby College where she was involved in a research project related to the tribal communities of Maine. She subsequently followed a path into the visual arts and has created numerous experimental and documentary films. Her 2011 feature documentary, 'After I Pick the Fruit' was screened at various film festivals and received a Documentary Achievement awards. 'Voices from the Barrens,' was started from Nancy’s research into agriculture labor across the international border."
