<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Your National Network of Libraries of Medicine Pacific Northwest Region (NNLM PNR) office has a free webinar next week that brings to light a different side of data that many of us may not
be aware of. You don’t have to be a data geek to attend. It’s a fascinating topic and one that we could all benefit from knowing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<i>“Hope from Our Grandmothers: Decolonizing Data through Stories of Resilience”<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Much research has been historically rooted in controlling American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) and other indigenous peoples to exploit land and natural resources, or even heredity and
group identity. Yet, AI/AN community ties, tribal sovereignty rights and claims, and cultural values are emerging as critical elements of resiliency key to reversing the very health and social issues that have plagued indigenous populations as a whole since
the dawn of colonization. The practice of research and utilizing information collected by means of observation, hypothesis-testing, repetition of experiment and sound conclusions to inform decision-making, have been integral to indigenous survival and wellbeing
for centuries. This webinar will review some of the modern scientific values in comparison to AI/AN ways of knowing and provide examples of indigenous research concepts as they align with decolonizing data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
