NM Tribal Working Group Meeting
June 21, 2023
12:00pm - 1:00pm MDT
Mahrinah Shije Discussing
Digital Sovereignty

Join the NM Tribal Working Group on Wednesday at noon for a Zoom Meeting to discuss "Digital Sovereignty" with Mahrinah Shije.

Mahrinah Shije is an Entrepreneur and Global Development Professional. As a Partner with Zia Impact, Mahrinah provides consulting and strategic planning services with a focus on Tribal Infrastructure and Economic Development. She is Tewa and Sephardic and an impassioned advocate for Indigenous rights, leadership and visibility.

Governments, industries, and organizations of all kinds are claiming a right to gather information on everything from our spending habits to our health records. Data has become a global currency, a valuable asset, and a source of power. Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDS) and Indigenous Data Governance are Indigenous-led movements and practices through which Indigenous peoples are setting their own visions for good data regarding data generated and collected by and about them.
