Data in Action: The 2024 Center for Indian Country Development Data Summit

November 13 @ 10:00 am – 3:00 pm CST

Data are not static and lifeless. Leveraged effectively, data can help articulate and amplify our stories across Indian Country. Tribal leaders and institutions increasingly rely on braiding traditional data expertise with modern applications in ways that influence the economic prosperity of Indian Country.

We invite you to join us on November 13 for a series of data-centered conversations with leaders from Native nations and Indigenous communities, academic researchers, and policymakers to learn how Indian Country is expanding its data capacity and putting data in action.
