The most reliable data come from the primary source, and more tribal governments are making investments in their capacity to tell their own data stories by organizing a “tribal census”—a major step forward in self-determination. During this session at the 2024 CICD Data Summit on November 13, speakers will share why their respective governments grew their census efforts, what they learned, and how they leveraged or plan to leverage their census data to drive internal planning and decision-making to better meet their people’s needs. This important discussion will feature panelists Susan Bayro (Osage Nation), Liz Boyd (Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa), Anita Lossiah (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians), and Christina Sparling (Snoqualmie Indian Tribe), all representing their respective tribes, and moderator Kevin Klingbeil of Big Water Consulting.

Tribal governments bear the same responsibilities as other governments to provide for the social, cultural, and economic welfare of their citizens. However, tribal nations do not possess the full spectrum of governance tools that other governments have available. During this panel session at the 2024 CICD Data Summit on November 13, experts will describe how tribal governments overcome the unique regulatory landscape they face and how tribes are collecting and using data to support the economic well-being of Indian Country. This important discussion will feature Estakio Beltran (Tolteca-Mexica, Tlatoani) of Native Americans in Philanthropy and the U.S. Department of the Interior, Karen Diver (Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa) of the University of Minnesota, Dustin J. Goslin (Prairie Band of Potawatomi Nation) of Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures, and Governor Reggie Wassana (Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes) of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.
