Oglála Lakȟóta artist Kite hosts a conversation as a moment for reflection with artistic and research collaborators on her year-long VLC-supported project Hél čhaŋkú kiŋ ȟpáye (There lies the road). This exchange involves Indigenous and non-Indigenous thinkers, artists, and the general public in exploring notions of ethics, protocols, and artificial intelligence. As does Kite’s project, the panel engages with questions of how respect and reciprocity with the nonhuman, such as in Lakȟóta ontology, can inform art and world-making in a “Good Way.” This panel is presented as part of the two-day symposium As for Protocols—To Hold Things Together.
