Day 1 Morning Recap — USA Indigenous Data Sovereignty Summit
The summit has opened its doors — and from the very first session, something is shifting. What began years ago as a passionate, aspirational movement is now becoming operational.
WarīNkwī K. Flores, co-host, is joined by Cristina Ore (Andean descent, Quechua genealogy from Huancavelica, Peru, and Irish descent), born and raised on Tohono O'odham ancestral land and Yaqui tribal land. Co-founder of the Indigenous Data Alliance and Seven Directions UW) and Joseph Yracheta (Executive Director, Native BioData Consortium) to debrief the morning's keynotes, panels, and roundtables.
The conversation moves fast — from the Bandung Conference of 1955 to the Monroe Doctrine to Harvard and the burning Amazon — because history is not distant. It is generational. You can still find someone to walk you through it.
At the center of this episode is a question that the summit is beginning to answer: how do Indigenous Peoples across the entire Americas — tribal nations with recognized sovereignty, diaspora communities, Latin America, the disenfranchised — build data authority together, across the imaginary lines drawn for them?
Joe names it plainly: 220 million Indigenous Peoples in Latin America. 10 million in the United States and Canada, with the law, the language, and the recognized sovereignty. Put those together, and something unprecedented becomes possible.
WarīNkwī K. Flores closes with a concept emerging from the conversation: the Biokulturecene (semiotic)— our own epoch, our own momentum, rising from within the Anthropocene's crises. Not new. Timeless. Finally being named.
