Native Bio's notoriety keeps skyrocketing upwards. We have always been part of Indigenous Data discussions but now we are colleagues with Indigenous organizations around the Globe! #IDSov is here to stay. The notion is spreading to African American, South African and European populations!

Ice roads are a lifeline for First Nations. As Canada warms, they’re disappearing.

Indigenous peoples are navigating the slow collapse of winter roads — and an even slower pace of help.

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding #InducedDemand Via @wired.com
What's Up With That: Building Bigger Roads Actually Makes Traffic Worse
The concept is called induced demand, which is economist-speak for when increasing the supply of something (like roads) makes people want that thing even more. Though some traffic engineers made note ...

Audubon's work on conservation was also fraught. Audubon’s research benefited from information & specimens collected by enslaved Black men/Indigenous people. Instead of recognizing their contributions, he referred to them as “hands” traveling along with white men. theconversation.com/american-env...

Ignace Lab PhD student, Miah Godek, has advanced to candidacy! 🎉 I was impressed by the depth and breadth of knowledge during the comprehensive exam. Miah is also co-advised by the awesome @warrencm.bsky.social and studying the impacts of fire on the below-ground community in the Okanagan Valley.

And the final results are in.

Orr and Maloney in a blowout, with Orr on more than half the ballots cast — an impressive result on a crowded ballot, even in a byelection context.

ABC gets around 13% of the vote, slightly ahead of how Vision did in the 2017 byelection when they were in power.

This! Research shows that protests 1) raise awareness, 2) empower people (especially the disadvantaged), and 3) exert pressure on elites.

Anyone saying they don’t work is unfamiliar with the research and the history of movement building.
Less complaining about how big rallies don't do anything, more brainstorming about how to activate their attendees to get involved with targeted campaigns, direct action, and mutual aid.

As infuriating and abhorrent as this is, it's standard colonizer violence, which colonizer laws and doctrines will always work to justify.

How do colonizers come to terms with being treated as they've treated others? It must involve historical honesty and restitution.

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.
