Unlike other robots, Totah operates on the Karii'wio (The Great Law of Peace) and not the Three Laws of Robotics. Her indigenous knowledge is gleaned from a mind map of the last speaker of Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk). Her community views her as a vital resource for their language revitalization project, despite her age. However, support for her O/S is coming to an end. Can a reformat by the Free and Open Source Software community preserve her precious data, or will she have to replace The Great Law of Peace with the Three Laws of Robotics?
