Tribes, long shut out from their own health data, fight for access & sovereignty https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/032925_tribal_data/tribes-long-shut-out-from-their-own-health-data-fight-access-sovereignty/
Data sovereignty is important amid the harrowing health disparities seen in tribal people, but though data gathered by and about tribes has been shared with state and federal agencies; but those same agencies haven’t always shared their tribal-related statistics in return.

@TucsonSentinel This is such bullshit. What does it take to share data? Isn't that what computers are designed to do? Every state agency should have a tribal ombudsman for tribal interests. Critical agencies should have an appointed tribal member.
