About Us
Join us for a day of learning, dialogue, and collaboration as we explore the future of Diné Data Sovereignty through the interconnected topics of Culture, Spirituality & Language, Artificial Intelligence, Governance & Policy, and Intellectual Property. Whether you're new to these topics or have years of experience, sessions will be offered for Novice, Intermediate, and Expert learners.
“The Diné People are no strangers to new information, new technologies, and new other-than-human-beings.” -Dr. Angelo Baca
Indian Law: Tribal Nations and AI
Arizona Attorney Magazine (August 2025)
The status of the world today and its technology shifts are sudden and dramatic; we are determined to stay ahead of it. We will not have technology or data acquisition done to us, rather, we strive to do our best to get ahead of it and use our tribal sovereignty as the Navajo Nation to do so.
We are dedicated and committed to asking hard questions and having the necessary talks, discussions, and important debates about what the data of the Navajo Nation means for the future of the Diné people.
