Settle Down

AI, art, and the future of our voices - this continuation of last week's episode of Settle Down dives into it all. From hilarious AI-generated self-portraits to deep conversations about data sovereignty, Indigenous knowledge, and the impact of tech on our land, the Aunties keep it real. Can AI ever strengthen our relationship to the land - or is it replacing it? Honest, funny, and thought-provoking, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

AI is everywhere—but what happens when Indigenous women start shaping it?In this episode of Settle Down, the Aunties dive into the future of Indigenous-led artificial intelligence - from moderating online racism to protecting culture, data and languages. Shani shares the story behind her groundbreaking AI project, wâsikan kisewâtisiwin, and the group explores what it means to build technology through a matriarchal lens.It’s a real conversation about opportunity, fear, data sovereignty and why Indigenous voices need to be involved in shaping the tools that will shape our future.Settle in. This one goes deep.

We’re taking a short breather this week, but we didn’t want to leave you hanging. In this bonus clip from Episode 2, the Settle Down Aunties dive into a question every entrepreneur wrestles with: Who can you trust with your big idea?The Aunties talk non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), red flags, safe people, and the balance between protecting your idea and believing in abundance. Is an NDA the answer? Can you trust your gut? Or is entrepreneurship really about finding people who share ideas just as openly as you do?We'd love to hear your thoughts too!

This one is about accountability to Creator. Accountability to community. Accountability to yourself.Because better together isn’t just cute branding — it’s a supply chain, a safety net, and sometimes, a lifeline.

Aunties share and discuss the Cree phrase: kahkiyaw niwâhkômâkanitik - All My Relations, and how this shapes and guides their values in business and life. #SettleDown
