About the Sessions
Historically, Indigenous peoples have experienced data inequities and invisibility. As data are foundational to Indigenous sovereignty and governance, Indigenous peoples are actively seeking to transform the power imbalances by centering Indigenous methodologies and values to ensure good data practices.
In Session II, Tribal Data Collection and Governance: Leadership, Advocacy, and Building Data Capacity, panelists will share ways that tribes, governments, and Native-serving organizations are building data systems for the future that protect sovereignty and governance. Participants in this webinar will engage in panel discussions with experts in the field about Indigenous data collection practices, collaborate with fellow participants in breakout sessions, and access information resources about approaches that are advancing educational data equity for American Indian and Alaska Native students.
Participants in this webinar series will
- engage in panel discussions with experts in the field about Indigenous data collection practices;

- access information resources about approaches that are advancing educational data equity for American Indian and Alaska Native students.
