GENEVA -- The mediocre, middle-of-the-road approach to A.I. at the United Nations was countered by testimony today from Indigenous Peoples pointing out that artificial intelligence is not a solution, and is doing great harm to Indigenous with derogatory misinformation and massive data centers that are poisoning the land, water and air.

Sara Olsvig, chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Council, testified that 'influence warfare' is linked to A.I. and misinformation, and ultimately diminishing Indigenous rights. Olsvig spoke on the first day of the week-long session of the U.N. Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

"The changing world order requires us to rethink conflict post-conflict, and possible pre-conflict. We recommend that the study addresses hybrid warfare, including influence warfare. Disinformation, misinformation, and the rise of artificial intelligence pose new threats requiring new responses," Olsvig told the U.N.

"There's a clear link between access to information, AI, disinformation, misinformation, and the right to free, prior, and informed consent. Influence warfare aimed at undermining institutions, misleading societies, or disrupting social cohesion may specifically target Indigenous peoples."

"To uphold Indigenous peoples' rights in hybrid warfare situations, access to reliable information, including from intelligence services, is critical and should be further addressed in the study."

"Exercising our inherent right to self-determination is central. In recent years, we have seen growing interest in our Arctic homelands and resources. In some cases, this has been expressed in ways that undermine the peaceful, dignified, and diplomatic relations Inuit and other Arctic Indigenous peoples have helped build in our region."

"I was once convinced artificial intelligence could help my tribe build our language and culture -- but A.I. is not a sustainable solution." -- Jaimie Williams

U.S. Border Patrol Agents who Murdered Raymond Mattia, Tohono O'odham, Want Qualified Immunity

Tohono O'odham Raymond Mattia's family said the U.S. Border Patrol is using an edited, redacted video of the agents murdering Raymond at his home on the Tohono O'odham Nation and the video is not reliable evidence.

SAN FRANCISO — A Ninth Circuit panel appeared unlikely on Wednesday to reverse the denial of qualified immunity to three Border Patrol agents who shot and killed an unarmed man on his front lawn in the Tohono O’odham Nation.

The family of Raymond Mattia, killed in 2023, says the three-judge panel cannot rely on “an edited and untested, incomplete and redacted body camera compilation” to challenge claims made in the lawsuit, which must be taken as fact at the motion to dismiss stage.

After rejecting all of the Tohono O'odham Nation's arguments to halt border wall construction, a federal judge expects Homeland Security to 'Consult and Cooperate' with the Tribe. The U.S. government has already waived and violated all federal laws which protect the borderlands in order to build the double-layered wall.

WASHINGTON -- The Tohono O'odham Nation was denied an injunction to halt construction of the border wall on Friday by a federal judge who ruled the government's interests outweigh other possible harms. The judge failed to uphold the tribe's right to their land and to protect it from being diminished by the border wall. Further, the judge ruled that the border wall would not be illegal trespass.

"We strongly disagree with this ruling and are considering all possible options for moving forward," Chairman Verlon Jose and Vice Chairwoman Carla Johnson said in a statement.

MINNEAPOLIS -- While Dakotas were praying at a sacred spring for those held in federal detention at the Whipple building in Minneapolis -- the U.S. government was spying on, and stalking, the Whipple watchers, a new court document reveals.

The government is now refusing to release all of its documents on its surveillance of those watching the Whipple building. The Whipple building is on the site of a former concentration camp, where Dakota and Ho Chunk were imprisoned, suffered and died.
