Finding Indigenous Tech Community, VR Education, and Inuit Food Practices
Boozhoo News River readers,
Indigenous innovators are at the forefront of cutting-edge advancements. Indigenous technologists and artists are using their projects to re-enforce culture. We are also recommending an article from the Walrus about the powerful fusion of tradition and advocacy as Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory brings Inuit food practices to the forefront, challenging perceptions and addressing food insecurity in Nunavut.
This week we are featuring :
- University of Hawaiʻi students showcase groundbreaking projects blending Indigenous knowledge with data visualization
- Athabasca University student Twylla Soosay harnesses virtual reality to teach traditional Cree ribbon skirt-making
The GPAI Digital Ecosystems that Empower Communities project is seeking to identify case studies that demonstrate a potential for the use of AI, digital twins, early warning systems, decision support systems, and other forms of digital technology stacks by communities to help them address specific real-world problems. Are there digital tools that empower Indigenous communities that GPAI should know about? Do you have a relevant case study or know someone who does? Your input could shape GPAI's work and contribute to meaningful change in communities worldwide. Reach out to us here by hitting reply and we can get you all the details.
We’re grateful to have our headquarters on traditional territory of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lkwungen, Songhees and Esquimalt) Peoples of the Coast Salish Nation.
