RF AI Units
AI is already shaping education, careers, and communities. These units teach you how it works, where it falls short, and how to use it as a tool rather than be used by it. Native perspectives on data, sovereignty, and representation are at the center of every lesson.
Units AI-01 through AI-03 are free to try right now. Relentless Feather is building the full track, grounded in Native history, data sovereignty, and critical thinking. Sign up to know when the next units launch.
Start with AI-01 →An introduction to artificial intelligence using Native storytelling as the frame. What it means for a machine to "learn," and what that means for communities.
See how a machine learns from examples, and why whoever chooses the data holds the power over what it can, and cannot, say about your nation.
Investigate bias and erasure in AI. Hunt down where the machine gets Native peoples wrong, or leaves them out, and trace it back to its source.
Learn prompt engineering by getting an AI to accurately describe Native history and culture. Document what works, what fails, and why.
How AI language models handle, and often fail with, Indigenous languages, and what it would take to train one on them responsibly.
Analyze what AI image generators produce when prompted about Native peoples, and build a critical media literacy case from your findings.
Who owns data about Indigenous communities, and what risk does AI pose? Build a site that explains data sovereignty in plain language.
Examine the tension between AI and Indigenous protocols around sacred and restricted knowledge. Build an editorial arguing for ethical AI.
Make an AI answer appear on your own webpage. A gentle first step into calling an AI with code: fetch requests, JSON, and API keys.
Use an AI API to build a quiz about Native American history. Introduces API calls, JSON responses, and displaying AI content on a webpage.
Design and build a simple Q&A chatbot for a Tribal nation's website. Teaches conversational UI design and API integration.
Design and build a small, responsible AI web tool for a real community need, applying everything you've learned about data, bias, and ethics.
