Member Education Sessions: Indigenous Data Sovereignty & Beyond

Event Description

Data makes the world go round! In the philanthropic sector, data drives where money is placed. However, for Indigenous peoples and communities, data is a complicated and nuanced topic. From erasure to mismanagement to data being used as a weapon, there are countless reasons why leaders in the sector are advocating for Indigenous Data Sovereignty through ethical data practices, cyber sovereignty, and more. Our moderator, Stephine “Steph” Poston, M.A. (Pueblo of Sandia), and Indigenous changemakers, Carly Bad Heart Bull (Dakota/Muscogee), Mahrinah Shije (Tewa/T’siyameh), and Kimball Sekaquaptewa (Hopi) discuss how philanthropy can work differently to not only better support the exercising of Indigenous Data Sovereignty, but also uplift the vital infrastructure and policy reform needed for sustainable practices.
