Recent years have brought economic data innovations across Indian Country and new models for governing data in ways that honor tribal data sovereignty. Digital advancements have made it easier to collect and analyze data, and artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced new risks and possibilities. Tools such as tribal censuses, economic impact reports, and the Survey of Native Nations are equipping tribes with new forms of data as they navigate economic realities.
The Center for Indian Country Development’s (CICD’s) 2026 data summit will feature conversations with Indian Country thought leaders on what it means to marshal data for economic self-determination. Tribal leaders will share ways they’re working with economic data to design services for tribal citizens, attract investment in their communities, and steward their resources for future generations. Speakers will also explore ways tribes are shaping emerging data applications on their own terms.
