Busy catching up these days but adding to my list of ideas is a paper tentatively titled "sovereignty in a glottal" because #orthography matters and maintaining control over our orthography is directly tied to #sovereignty in digital spaces. Also large glottal stops are ugly.

The word is getting around about Indigenous Data Sovereignty #IDSOV and it can't come at a better time. Remember, @nativebio.bsky.social has been talking about this and taking action on it since 2012. digitalrepository.unm.edu/cgi/viewcont...

Heading home from #SAA2025Denver full of new ideas, new connections, and fun memories. Also met another #Haudenosaunee archaeologist! Not bad for my first experience with the SAAs.

After a difficult couple of weeks, I'm trying to get back to academic things. Heading to #SAA2025 in Denver today. Hoping to meet other #Indigenous archaeologists!

Are you a microbiologist looking to move to Alaska? There is an opening for a microbiologist in a clinical lab in Bethel. Only requires a BS. Please share with your networks, they really need to hire someone ASAP.

History prior to European contact is consigned to the domain of archeologists, and Indigenous people are confined to static pasts.

Two long beaded earrings with purple and white beads with metal sunflowers on the ends.

Was gifted some Two Row sunflower earrings from an elder I've been crossing paths with for the past year. She's the only other Haudenosaunee woman involved in archaeology I know! Now I'm crying 😭

I highly doubt this plant was just "discovered," like no human's ever interacted with it before. krirù·rę' probably just seen it for the first time. Also naming it wooly devil. Really?? #botany #ethnobotany

Recognizing Indigenous Rights in Environmental Data | Dartmouth

Appreciate Dartmouth for highlighting our recent work!

Recognizing Indigenous rights in our environmental data is not only good for the communities whom the data pertains to, but also produces better science that is grounded in the expertise of the communities that steward these data relations.

Check out the exhibition: https://nunalleq.org/

A clam with a spring attached to the shell. The spring has a magnet placed above a sensor.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:

Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

NEW Analysis of dried plants from a colonial institution in 19th century Australia reveals many foods that do not appear in official records were being eaten, potentially as an informal means to resist the monotony of life in the institution.

Pottery class at Tuscarora! Very fun! Was invited to do a short presentation before the class about the pots and pipes used by our ancestors. Some people used ancient designs, others followed their own imagination. I'm not a potter, so the opportunity to mess with some clay was great!
