National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 2023
Boozhoo News River readers,
After a hiatus from the News River last week, we have plenty of news to catch you up on.
Reconciliation and Tech: Strengthening Indigenous & Intersectional Relationships in the Workplace
This Orange Shirt Day, our team took time to focus on awareness, education, culture, and healing in their own communities.
We were also happy to see plenty of great content at the intersection of Truth and Reconciliation and technology. Here are some news items you may have missed:
- Raven Indigenous Capital Partners founder and Chief Impact Officer Paul Lacerte interviewed by Global News about why Indigenous founders need greater access to capital
- Vancouver Tech Journal published a trio of stories, including a profile of East Side Games co-founder Josh Nilson (Métis)
- Animikii CEO Jeff Ward was part of a group of Indigenous tech professionals in Toronto for last week’s Elevate Festival, where he sat on the “Ensuring Equity in AI” panel
TechSoup X Animikii: Reconciliation & Tech Part 3

It’s been a busy few months in the Indigenous Data Sovereignty world, and we are excited to see more conversations on this topic in brand new environments. Stay tuned for more content as we continue our collab series with TechSoup.
