Indigenous economic systems, such as the Haudenosaunee’s *Gayanashagowa*, emphasize communal land stewardship and reciprocal wealth distribution—principles directly contradicted by the speculative housing market and AI-driven extraction. Practices like the Potawatomi *Manoomin* (wild rice) harvest, where surplus is shared to prevent hoarding, offer a model for redistributive economics that could counteract the concentration of wealth in tech monopolies. The absence of these frameworks in policy discussions reflects a colonial erasure of alternative economic logics that prioritize long-term ecological and social balance over short-term financial gains.
