Thanks for sharing this Danielle, And this prompts me to share Making Kin with the Machines, a wonderful article by Jason Lewis, Noelani Arista, Archer Pechawis and Suzanne Kite. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326614247_Making_Kin_with_the_Machines
I first came across it republished as a chapter in the (very enjoyable) Atlas of Anomalous AI <https://ignota.org/products/atlas-of-anomalous-ai> edited by Ben Vickers & K Allado-McDowel. It proposes that indigenous protocols and customs are an expression of the best ontologies and epistemologies for healing the land and should therefore be central to all AI developments. Drawing on a range of indigenous systems of knowledge it argues convincingly against the grave error of centering of human flourishing in Joi Ito's Resisting Reduction Manifesto <https://jods.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/resisting-reduction/release/17>. They argue that because knowledge is born of relationship with the land, human ethics demands disciplined and respectful making kin with all things (who are also beings) on earth - aiming for long term balance, and openness to the mystery of relating to multiple sentiences. I think this struck me especially strongly as I have spent the winter holidays taking solace in tramping through dank woodlands and a powerful feeling of being welcomed by the society of trees that live there.
