There has been a ruling in December 2021 by the High Court in New Zealand that data to do with vaccination be given over by the Ministry of Health to the Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency. The present ...article, Ngā Pakanga Maramara, The Data Wars, forms a Postscript to Maramara me te Iwi, Data and the Indigenous Group, an earlier paper in tekaharoa.com and takes the argument therein to a consideration of this ruling and the context involved. A similar form is followed to that of the earlier paper and in the example of the High Court ruling and its aftermath concepts of state and ethnicity are considered along with an overview of government and Iwi organisations in Aotearoa-New Zealand. The ruling is considered as something of a change or a breakthrough to new forms of data control. The nature and use of data is considered in general terms as well as in the specific context of the Covid 19 pandemic in Aotearoa-New Zealand. There is considerable discussion of border concepts and practices as there is of mental as well as physical health.

This paper considers Indigenous groups and data. The paper begins with fifteen assorted questions which are addressed in various ways in the next two sections. The second section is a review of ...‘Indigenous Data Sovereignty’ a collection by Kukutai and Taylor of 2016. This collection is seen as an excellent statement of the position of the Indigenous group regarding data and each chapter is reviewed in several paragraphs. Beginning with Kukutai and Taylor, the third and final section is a commentary on recent literature on data with reference to the Nation-state, Big Tech and Indigenous groups. This section considers a shifting situation involving machine learning and the hunting, gathering and farming of data. A reappraisal of the way data is used in the context of the Indigenous group, the Nation state and Big Tech is proposed. That reappraisal involves new considerations of identity in forms of ethnicity, nationalism and tribalism as well as the way Indigenous groups are defined by others and the ways in which they define themselves.
A main thread in the Two Suns? series might be summed up as follows. There are several spaces or forms of space involved; territorial space, outer space, cyberspace and living space, And there is ...data to be found and owned in each of these spaces. That data may be processed using algorithms in each space and across all spaces. With such a thread in mind one argument in the Two Suns? series so far and going forward is as Data, Algorithms, Spaces, and Techno Feudalism follows; we should treat Big Tech as an incipient state with its own entry and exit points and its own infrastructure rather than constantly framing discussion in terms of a nation-state like the USA. The latter may have been and may still be a host for the Algorithmic State but this is not necessarily ongoing. Furthermore there is a range of nation states from the strong to the barely formed ranging through, say the examples of the USA, Australia and Myanmar and a varying use and influence of the algorithm within these nation states.
What follows is a history of cultural blindness. We might need to consider our historiography, the culture we find in the past, if you like, and the need to now reconstitute and re-frame that sense ...of history making the development of robotics and machine learning more central. Over in a usually forgotten corner there is a history of machines that may throw light on where we find ourselves today and in this section there is a consideration of that history, a story about robotics and theorists in this area unheard and unseen in many respects.
Earlier the idea that we might be looking at techno feudalism was advanced and Bleuca makes a comparable point above. Are the spaces outlined here the bondage context for the new feudalism, the new ...political economy which is a version of the political economy found in feudalism? Or are we looking at a new animal, something we are not sure how to describe?
The argument in the last part of the Two Suns? series was summed up as follows. There are several spaces or forms of space involved; territorial space, outer space, cyberspace and living space, And ...there is data to be found and owned in each of these spaces. That data may be processed using algorithms in each space and across all spaces.
The argument has been developed as follows. In Part One, the bones, at least some of them, of the argument in the series may be seen in the title,
Two Suns? The State of Amazon? Bezonomics, market control and the algorithmic state. Books by Brian Dumaine and Rob Hart, Bezonomics and The Warehouse respectively, were the jump off points for the discussion along with earlier work by me on incipient states. I asked about Amazon:
Is it an entity that now has a force, a scale, an ethic and a set of borders that speaks of a state-like situation wherein people rely and trust Amazon to fulfil their needs?
