Panel 3 2:30 PM-3:30 PM Laws that Govern Sharing of Data and Best
Practices
This program will discuss the barriers
that exist between Tribal governments and municipal governments regarding the exchange of
information, specifically governmental documents that may or may not be public
or nonpublic data. Specifically, this session will focus on institutional
bias and prejudice that has existed in the collection and retention of
government documents and the manner in which it has disproportionately impacted Tribal
communities to their detriment.
