AI in Indian Country
A biweekly brief tracking how artificial intelligence reaches Tribal communities through data centers, water, health, business, policy, and governance.
Field notes
The brief assembles a recurring policy workflow rather than treating AI as a purely technical subject: it tracks facilities, resolutions, consultation standards, and environmental consequences, then links readers to the underlying reports. Issue 002 records Cherokee Nation’s survey of 1,593 citizens, including 64 percent opposition to hyperscale construction within the reservation, and follows a proposed Google site roughly four miles from Winnebago lands. Its sections and RSS feed suggest an ongoing publication rather than a one-off essay.
