Indigenous Communities Reclaim Control Over Data and Development
Boozhoo News River readers,
From DNA samples to land development, Indigenous communities are reclaiming control over their data and resources. In this week's News River, learn how First Nations are forging new partnerships, reshaping research ethics, and bringing reconciliation into the workplace. Including these stories:
- Indigenous Peoples are demanding control over genetic data sourced from their lands

Indigenous communities already face challenges reclaiming their languages—choosing a compatible typeface shouldn’t be one of them. Indigenous communities already face challenges reclaiming their languages—choosing a compatible typeface shouldn’t be one of them. Animikii’s Lead Designer Tom Spetter conducted extensive research to identify typefaces that are compatible with diverse characters used by Indigenous languages. The results were compiled into a PDF e-book including a list of the typefaces, a font sample showing the various weights and font styles, with links to download or purchase each font. We offer this free guide to community members, designers, and their collaborators here.
We’re grateful to have our headquarters on traditional territory of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lkwungen, Songhees and Esquimalt) Peoples of the Coast Salish Nation.
