Utilizing support from the Urban Indian Health Institute and collaborating with Nebraska Indian Community College, we hosted community forums and film screenings reinforcing that data is an Indigenous value. We assisted participants to know and feel that they can reclaim that value by providing training on new ways of thinking about data, that data is also stories, traditional ways of knowing, plant medicines, star knowledge, knowledge of the land and waters, and more. This sets the stage for full community embracing of data driven approaches. One cummunity member noted the impact by stating that "Data isn’t merely numbers or facts. Data can narrate our stories from various cultures and communities. I genuinely appreciated how this project urges us to contemplate whose voices are represented in the data we utilize daily. It makes me realize that there are multiple perspectives available, and not just one way to perceive things. This project has influenced me and surely soon, my community."
