Indigenous language on Google translate for the first time; plus articles featuring strong Indigenous leadership

Web Version

Boozhoo News River readers,

This week we are featuring stories that feature strong Indigenous leadership -  in each of the following stories there are incredible examples of leadership in action:

  • Special interlocutor releases final residential school graves report
  • Spotlighting Indigenous Innovation at SOCAP24 and Beyond
  • Inuktut finds a home on Google Translate

Here are a few of the core takeaways from the panel our CEO Jeff Ward moderated last week at Forward Summit.  🌟 Indigenous perspectives in STEM are catalysts for innovation, bringing unique viewpoints on sustainability, time horizons (7 generations thinking), and kinship-based approaches to technology development.  💡 The tech sector narrative needs reframing: it's not just about coding. Indigenous professionals are leading cross-sectoral initiatives where traditional values meet modern solutions, from environmental conservation to ethical AI development. 🤝 Creating meaningful change requires employers to move beyond basic inclusion to actively building safe, culturally responsive tech spaces where Indigenous employees can bring their whole selves to work without sacrificing their values.
