Indigenous land defenders are being killed and criminalized at alarming rates, AI systems scrape traditional knowledge without consent, while Indigenous women face escalating rates of violence — crises that Indigenous leaders confronted this week at the United Nations, where they warned that the fight for health and sovereignty now extends from traditional territories into digital spaces. grist.org/indigenous/ind…

Earth Day reminder: Indigenous stewardship is everyday work. Not symbolic. Not seasonal. Ongoing. Grateful for the Native communities, knowledge keepers, and advocates doing this work every day. #EarthDay #LandBack #OceanBack

Sen. Tina Smith put it, “If you want to solve a problem, you first have to see it and understand it, and that’s what that work was all about.” She called it “so offensive” that the administration reclassified tribal nations as just another DEI category rather than “sovereign nations, sovereign people.”knowyourrightscamp.org/post/trump-adm…

"I postponed Assembly Bill 2356 to bring local tribes and community together, but I will not walk away. Yan’-daa-k’vt is the Tolowa people’s place of genesis. In 1853, settlers burned their village, killing an estimated 600 people. The federal government reserved this land for the Tolowa in 1862, then seized it six years later." calmatters.org/commentary/rea…

The loss of ancestral knowledge on traditional medicine is a continuing threat. Traditional medical knowledge frequently lacks official recognition and is therefore frequently ignored or marginalized. Even when acknowledged, intentions may be closer to bioprospecting and commercialization of endemic medicinal plants, seeds, and genetic resources, rather than preservation of traditional medicine practices. The lack of formalized recognition and respect for traditional medicine can lead to piracy of resources and concomitant ecological degradation associated with overexploitation. undp-nature.exposure.co/forest-health-…
