  3. #Indigenous at the #UnitedNations Expose #AIDatacenters and Racially-Biased #Misinformation

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, July 14, 2026

    GENEVA -- "The mediocre, middle-of-the-road approach to #AI at the United Nations was countered by testimony today from #IndigenousPeoples pointing out that #ArtificialIntelligence is not a solution, and is doing great harm to Indigenous with derogatory misinformation and massive #datacenters that are poisoning the #land, #water and #air.

    "#JaimieWilliams, #MiamiNation in #Indiana, speaking on behalf of the Society of Native Nations, at the U.N. Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, responded to the A.I. summary presented this morning. Williams said the summary does not reflect the true impact of artificial intelligence, particularly in the way the technology is powered.

    " 'AI data centers are rapidly being constructed on the land of Indigenous Peoples without free, prior and #InformedConsent from us.'

    " 'My people came out of the water, the #SaintJosephRiver in the southeast of #LakeMichigan, along that river there are several data centers,' she said, pointing out that Indigenous across #TurtleIsland share similar stories.

    " 'These sacred waterways and lands are being used for A.I. data centers.'

    " 'I was once convinced artificial intelligence could help my tribe build our language and culture, but AI is not a sustainable solution.'

    " 'There is currently no available technology available to power A.I. without poisoning the water, drying up the rivers and causing further contamination in the territories of Indigenous Peoples, who are already disproportionately affected.' "

  5. Killed the TurtleIs.land Bluesky PDS today. No diss on #Bluesky. A PDS is great if you must have data sovereignty but that's about it. You still have Bluesky moderation lording over you, which can be pathetic for non-dominant cultures. To add the other necessary pieces for true near independence is a MUCH larger project than a part time Linux admin can take on.

    Ultimately, #Mastodon is much more of an of, by and for the people social media...

  9. In 2024, an Indigenous burial site was found during construction on Withrow Avenue, near Riverdale Park East in Toronto. Where others see a “hole” in the ground awaiting investigation, journalist Gabrielle McMann sees a window into the city's complex pre-colonial history — and a deeper sense of belonging.

  11. On this #WorldTurtleDay I honour #TurtleIsland. I have known pleasure across many different places in you. I respect your spirits. I like many of the creatures who call you home, and even some of the people. I believe you will survive the current trauma, will heal and recover from it. Grace and honour to you, Turtle Island.
