Kunhi:yo Event - I'm Healthy

 Kunhi:yo - Overdose Awareness Event

Oneida Hotel - 2040 Airport Drive. Green Bay, Wisconsin 54304

August 29, 2024

9Am - 2PM

NEW-TRG 

Come check us out at the Kunhi:yo Event with Oneida Social Services and Resources as an informational booth. Brooke Metoxen-Smith will be handing out pamphlets, flyers, stickers with NEW-TRG and answering questions on projects with NEW-TRG and recruiting interest for joining to begin a new path in life. 

One of the concerns in newly attained sobriety is what to do with the time, breaking bad habits, and direction in life with community activity and people alike. Support groups being present along with other social accomodations to relieve that question on a professional level if need be, NEW-TRG is offering assistance with delving into technological avenues. 

Seeing that Native American advocates are cheering you on to join them and to apply yourself towards a new chapter in your life may be encouraging and attainable within you. People who say its too difficult or they aren't into it could be uplifted and need a new venture to get into. The people will not be disappointed in their time spent researching IT Topics and technological advancements. It will always be useful and build atop what you previously learned. We are always learning and if you can take the time to learn, and explain what was most effective for you - that is all the battle right there. You will be helping countless others after you in being able to explain what worked to help NEW-TRG remain connected with elders, the technological adept, and the disabled who may not be able to use what you are reviewing. We need your input to connect those who cannot learn it!

Join us at the event and stop by and say hi! We will be doing short surveys if you could to engage in conversations with us and what our project spaces mean for the people.

Intro to Python Course

Introduction to Python Course

NEW-TRG with Oneida CEC will be hosting an Intro to Python Course. Just a little reading material on what Python is and what you can use it for!

What is Python?

Python is a high-level, general purpose programming language according to Wiki. The language is designed for user readability and strong indentation use - basically, how Americans read today using headline skimming and bullet points. However, in programming languages, the concepts are similar to other programming languages, which makes learning it a smooth transition into other high-level programming languages. 

The actual history of Python can be researched using the Wiki link if you are interested. Sometimes it does help knowing where the language originates to better understand concepts, language flow (dataflow) techniques and organization skills used. Math concepts and logical thinking are also a beneficial reach into grasping the core of the language goals from a user perspective of your own abilities with it. 

Where can I use Python?

In any career that uses applications, web frameworks (designing websites with javaScript, HTML5, CSS, etc. using a DOM - Domain Object Model), and with databases or with Machine Learning technology. Its versatile. I have seen listings in multiple different South American countries for programmers using Python and it is considered a top programming language in the IT Industry for entry-level jobs. There are multiple platforms that can use Python - and its readability scores mesh well with other careers because you don't have to study extra programming languages to make what you need, work! 

Programming Languages

Everything that you are working with on the computer has a system and architectural design of how it was put together for a user to interact with. A programming language helps protect, orchestrate, and execute your decisions and uses with it effectively using logical concepts. Currently, this has to consider digital logic and wiring techniques in programming languages because it is communicating with a machine. The machine has to use compilers of binary because that is the only language it knows. So, everything is interpreted in codes of binary using only 1 and 0, down to each letter. These letters of binary are compiled and the machine is putting up the saved character for it. The keys that are hit, the communication it is tasked with to display for the user, are all happening that its speed becomes dependent on the smoothness and quality of your application. That's why programming languages are used, to help the quality and interaction of users with machine. 

This has a world history that has been a consistent development since the 1950's (if not earlier) in America. The race to space, the education systems, the technological booms, and the mechanical drive for more developed lifestyles have been a huge success and integration of global lifestyle and luxuries. It is used in all inventions and continues to be a job security for multiple industries - technological programming and concepts. 

Haudenosaunee Concepts

Programming languages are derived from global cultural systems and educations that other people have to learn. Most times, logical and reasoning skills lack understanding in these areas. One experiential point of view to have is how to carry the Haudenosaunee teachings while learning these studies and what you are understanding while studying. There are some key points to remember:

1. Logical thinking consists of electrical knowledge and string theory. It needs to have a point of origin, a destination, and these have to have predetermined connections to solve future problems. It cannot be just a source that is pooled - that is quantum mechanics and quantum computing (not in this course). 

2. Logical thinking consists of mathematical concepts that you have been generally taught through education systems in America. These are a collection of basic arithmetic, algebra, and that is about it. Everything else is not necessary. 

3. Logical thinking and reasoning often consist of machine interpretation and machine compilation. If you want your program to work, you have to know the steps and syntax of how the machine is learning your task. It has to be read like instructions from the first line to the last and the best practices are not repeating yourself or over-explaining yourself. 

If you're an absolute newbie...

Some things I had difficulty with was imagining what I was doing, while writing a program. What does this look like (the words I was writing)? What is this doing and how does the computer know the stuff that isn't being explained? 

This can be due to multiple DOM (Domain Object Models) conceptualizing memory and software designed libraries that fill those components in. It knows the basics of what you are looking for because the limitation to what you can do and need to operate a program are embedded. There are multiple add-ons or plug-ins that you can hook up to your program to use like other tools or other images or other designed features you want to use. Python can work with these features but it generally consists of interface designed software or other web browser frameworks that you need to fit into to make what you want work. (Like the pair of jeans you want to wear need only a certain amount of size of what you can offer to make that work.)

Anything that you want to ask, can be worked with the group. The idea of this course is to gather data, advice, and logical solutions that Haudenosaunee can use for future IT Developers. The way we think, solve, and work together is much different than other cultures in the world. When we are able to collect and work together on a Python Intro Course, we will be able to write our notes and see the difference in the community about their feedback to educate later at an effective pace for us. 

I will admit, there are concepts that you will not accept. There are programming features that you will not understand at first. There will be times when you will blank out in your mind. This is all natural. But the more consistent you are with it and the more you ask questions and recognize that you are doing that - without idling in place to just get through it - the better off you will be at prosolutions and acting out the way to solve it. It helps in many facets of your personal life - what you blank out when learning or listening to your children describe something they are fascinated with that you have no prior knowledge in... It happens to us and it is time for us to realize how to solve it so we can be a part of it. 

Oneida CEC 

Oneida CEC is installing Visual Studio software so besides the Intro to Python Course, we can continue to learn together with NEW-TRG if you are still interested and begin designing apps, personal programs (if you ever wanted to create your own program for whatever reason), projects for school, or work tools. 

It will help you become familiar with a free tool (currently - take advantage of this opportunity!) and continue to be a part of the active revenue that is the sole reason we are able to afford our lifestyles and services. In Gaming, software generated by developers used in slot machines are a big beneficial amenity that most tribal people know nothing of. It is time to invest in the nation profits by being an active participant in our revenue and investments (especially while it is free or affordable)!

May 2024 for NEW-TRG

 Oneida CEC on Packerland

MAY MONTHLY MEETING TIMES: 10AM to NOON ON WEDNESDAYS!!

One of the events we are getting ready for is to host a Python Intro Course during the Summer of 2024. It will be a 6 week course as a group. There are individual group sessions for certification, but you will have to pay out of pocket for that. This first intro-course is to get an understanding of how to write in a highly acceptable programming language that is encouraged for beginners. This is pending approval with the Oneida Arts Program and Oneida CEC itinerary!

When will you need this skill?

If you are planning on going into software desgning, interested in how game developers write code, or want to get started in a new technological hobby or career path - this would be a great place to start at any age! 

This is just a short list of some of the goals to achieve in an intro course with Python. Python is easily rated at the top for its accessibility, preference of language with other companies and website designers, and is a global language that people are constantly recruiting for in their competing markets. 

Why Python?

One of the goals for NEW-TRG is to be invited, apply, and host a "hack-a-thon" event. In these events, there are a bunch of intro courses to delve into, but if we can learn beyond these intro courses as a group, we could really bring out how to implement our ideas onto tangible products such as software tools, platforms, and concepts. There is a bunch of IT Topics to address and sometimes it takes a little bit of being creative to think outside of the normal wave to catch the winning surf. If you are great at reading patterns, attentive to detail, or want to learn how your natural skills can be of use in IT - Python is a great start to get used to the talk, the concepts, and the thinking changes within logical solutions with computers. 

Conclusion

Please do not hesitate to leave a message, provide feedback, questions! The steps you take now will help open up opportunities in the IT Field, for not just you, but your entire family to engage with in conversation and keep them updated with what is happening in the tech world.

Last Chance for Peer-Review on NABM!

 Native American Binary Mathematics (NABM)

There is an available peer-review for NABM in blog form at NABM. It will be made unavailable after the Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024 which marks the end of the Great American Solar Eclipse which began August 21, 2017. The construction of the Zero-Axis Grid, 6Grid, and Delta Grid are the main features which lightly discusses the Spiral Counting involved with relational space to use in a binary construction to consider with AI environments, machine learning, and a new organizational system to use in place of linear algebra and ordinal counting with the binary established with ASCII in America. 

This has been an amazing journey to be part of, which was able to be worked during these celestial events. Each one just as special as the last and next. For the grid works, there is a base copyright called "Binary Sequence Signature" by Brooke Metoxen-Smith that explains the first binary strand to study and formulate sequences of binary that emulate environmental relations to measure algorithms, placement theories, and zero concepts to further its integration with technology as we see it today. 

This is all inspired by the Native American perspective, teachings, and intuitive thinking behind translation issues with medicinal people throughout documented history. The way we perceive our environment is always learning and how we adapt to our surroundings has never ceased our thriving sense of what is real and what is surreal. However, virtual reality has changed this realistic measurement to include signal pollution, acceptance of diversity, and many other linguistic comprehensive introductions (along with computer programming languages) that alter our perceptions of interpreting data. 

This is an initial step to include North American Native Tribes curriculum by using it as a catalyst program for curriculum to incorporate into space travel, energy theories, and computer programming to compete with quantum programming/mechanics. This is much beyond our reach at this time, but with further study and investment, we can include Native America into the future of computer programming and divulge into interface designs to propogate a cyberspace environment that isn't hard-coded or manipulated with dynamic code to be altered - it has to revel machine thinking and solidify resource through its own digital circuitry systems that can be instilled without hard connections - but it has to make sense! To expand our AI systems, its going to need its own domain outside of human development online to ensure time is encased by its own sensitive networking of what defines it separately from sol time. The hardware needs to be constructed to be manipulated by the code to encounter effective speed. Much work is needed and we are not too far behind or in ridicule to begin NABM curriculum.  

I encourage all of you to look over it, try to understand it, and comment on it. It will be documented. 

I also highly encourage you to invest in a curriculum yourselves with something of a similar grounding to expand the Native American teaching systems and how you interpret what you learn for the betterment of society. 

Snowday Today in NEW! Tsi?Nahe Yotaklohkw^ (While It's Snowing...)

NEW-TRG is thinking ahead for the NEW Community. A Python Intro Course to do together in the Summer of 2024 is the next big event to prepare for!

Some things that you may not know about computers or computer programming is the language base to communicate with interfaces, Operating System (OS) [like Windows, Mac] browsers and platforms of many kinds these days (Software as a Platform, Infrastructure as a Platform, etc.) do this with programming languages. 

One of the highly competitive programming languages, highly desired, for ability to work with multiple other programming languages is Python! During job searches, I found this highly desireable in South America. If we know anything about our history and wanting to make a direct impact based on experience to help others be successful in culture repatriation, and feel a calling for indigenous assistance, then programming may be your best bet at providing assistance in the proper circles to navigate political scenes and tribal leader fundings that may not know to request this profession. Having a Native background will help with relating to their needs and joining NEW-TRG is requesting to be part of this journey!

Think about your future, how you want to do your small part within a chaotic pull of what you want to do in your professional career and stick to something that is going to be needed and constantly changing! 

Other news...

April 17 and April 24, 2024 will be the last physical in-person meetings for NEW-TRG until we have a good group going that want to participate weekly. NEW-TRG will continue to host events, webinars, training sessions, and intro courses to sign up for to be held at Oneida CEC on Packerland.

The NEW-TRG blog will still be available weekly, new posts and updates on websites, native-owned businesses, seeking out local articles on their IT development and usage, interviews, and more! 

If you are interested in the Intro to Python course - sign up with your email and a brief message of interest to NEW.TechnicalResourceGroup@Gmail.com! This is still in planning, but taking interested people as a first come first serve basis is encouraged. It will need to get approved with Oneida CEC and their course listings to post for the local Native community, there may be a small fee, that we can cover together. We will be one working body with this Intro to Python (cost effective and teamwork in developing the interest with the IT Field) - so no individual certificates! It is encouraged to join for the experience, the knowledge, the opinions that will form and a major plus in building more interest to pursue an IT Career!

I can guarantee that if you go into any IT Field, it will serve great benefits to survive your first couple of semesters (especially if there is programming languages involved)!
