Lopez (Fort Yuma Quechan (Kwatsáan) Indian Tribe), Carmenlita Chief (Navajo Nation), and Dr. Tennille Marley (White Mountain Apache Tribe) all share examples on what they have witnessed and experienced as Native researchers and scholars in applying the considerations for data sovereignty in their work and their communities.
