Ya'at'eeh my relatives. Today (Wednesday Aug. 9) is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples and over My Second Cup of Coffee I use the development of Artificial Intelligence by Colonial nations and the granting of personhood status to rivers by Indigenous Peoples as context to discuss the divergent values between Western and Indigenous cultures. I invite you to join me.
