  • A long history of Indigenous film snubs

    Mar 12, 2024

    How important are Indigenous stories to Hollywood? Considering the popularity of cowboy-and-Indian tropes over the past century, it is reasonable to consider that Indigenous themes are seminal to the industry. Still, the Indigenous voice has too often been ignored, and 2024 was no exception. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences bypassed the acclaimed Lily Gladstone, Siksikaitsitapii and Nimíipuu, in the Best Actress category, though Gladstone won awards from the Golden Globes and...

    Mar 5, 2024

    Cherilyn Spears grew up at the Red Lake Nation in north central Minnesota. An enrolled member of the Nation, she has early memories of her family practicing food sovereignty.

  • What roles did Minnesota's Native American chiefs play? And who were some notable ones?

    Feb 26, 2024

    It is a well-known image: A stoic Native American man in ceremonial garb with a feathered headdress. A chief. That portrait of strength and courage has been memorialized in films and statues, as well as exploited to sell cigarettes and motorcycles. It is a core American cultural stereotype, recently at the center of the most-watched sporting event in American history when the Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LVIII. Rob Robertson, a history buff from Eden Prairie, wanted to know more about...

  • NINE LITTLE GIRLS

    Feb 26, 2024

    Almost every February for a decade, Barbara Charbonneau-Dahlen and her eight sisters donned their traditional Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa regalia, took deep breaths, and piled into cars to travel to the South Dakota Legislature in Pierre.

  • AI Safety: Do Reliability Factors that Tamed Animals Apply to LLMs?

    David Stephen|Feb 9, 2024

    Humans are guaranteed that animals don't have advanced language, even though they communicate somehow. Humans are also guaranteed that the ability for animals to make observations or analyze is limited. They may repeat what they have seen, as a crude form of observation or analysis, but offer little else to those within or outside their habitat. They can be trained but bounded by their capabilities. Animals have their strengths yet were tamed by humans, mostly through advanced intelligence and language. Motor skills also mattered, with...
