This can limit the ability of AI systems to reflect community priorities, place\u2010based knowledge, and diverse ways of knowing. Using RiverBot as a case study, we examine how Indigenous scholars, students, and community partners co\u2010led the development of Relational AI by carrying Indigenous epistemologies into chatbot design, evaluation, and implementation. We argue that Indigenous leadership fundamentally transformed what the technology became, demonstrating how collaboration across epistemologies can reshape AI development. Finally, we discuss how this collaborative process cultivates student leadership, expands interdisciplinary participation in emerging technologies, and strengthens Tribal communities through culturally grounded approaches to water education, stewardship, and decision\u2010making.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/yd.70075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]],"date-time":"2026-08-28T03:09:40Z","timestamp":1787886580000},"page":"101-107","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["RiverBot: Reimagining AI, Technology, and Leadership via Indigenous Co\u2010Leadership and Relational AI"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"2026","author":[{"given":"Liliana","family":"Caughman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"American Indian Studies, The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Arizona State University  Tempe Arizona USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Carradini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Applied Professional Studies, College of Integrative Sciences and Arts Arizona State University  Mesa Arizona USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Lauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Applied Professional Studies, College of Integrative Sciences and Arts Arizona State University  Mesa Arizona USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjiv","family":"Thompson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Indian Studies, The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Arizona State University  Tempe Arizona USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tallia","family":"Robledo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Indian Studies, The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Arizona State University  Tempe Arizona USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalie Parra","family":"Miguel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Indian Studies, The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Arizona State University  Tempe Arizona USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Caughman L.2025. \u201cWhole Body Knowing: an Embodied and Relational Knowledge Framework for Emerging Technologies Research and Practice.\u201d SocArXiv2025.https:\/\/doi.org\/10.31235\/osf.io\/cvuxy_v1.","DOI":"10.31235\/osf.io\/cvuxy_v1"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1075\/idj.25022.cau"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/3772318.3791890"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/07410883261440221"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hudon A. andE.Stip.2025. \u201cDelusional Experiences Emerging From AI Chatbot Interactions or \u201cAI Psychosis\u201d.\u201dJMIR Mental Health.e85799.https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2196\/85799.","DOI":"10.2196\/85799"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/10506519241280587"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/3313831.3376392"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","volume-title":"Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy","author":"O'Neil C.","year":"2017"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10572252.2023.2210166"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Preda A.2025. \u201cSpecial Report: AI\u2010Induced Psychosis: A New Frontier in Mental Health.\u201dPsychiatric News60 no.10.https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1176\/appi.pn.2025.10.10.5.","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.pn.2025.10.10.5"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rajan B.
