The Niitsitapi Pod is exploring the use of A.I. through the facilitation of dialogs with Blackfoot Elders, as well as through art-based explorations into how Niitsitapi creative and cultural practices (language, song, dance, and storytelling in all its diverse forms) might shape Indigenous AI systems.
