"As an Indigenous researcher, you are supposed to be a scientist, not an activist. But the moment you start talking about sovereignty, people label you as an activist, even though that is an inherent part of our identity, our scholarship, and a contribution to our science."-Dr. Stephanie Russo, PI of the Collaborative for Indigenous Data Governance #IndigenousinSTEM #NativesinSTEM #tribalsovereignty #IndigenousResearcher
