About the Event

The Tribal Early Childhood Research Center Virtual Learning Circle


Join the Tribal Early Childhood Research Center to learn how Tribal data sovereignty is understood and honored in early childhood program-research partnerships across the US. Presenters in each Learning Circle will reflect on how principles of data sovereignty are upheld in the day-to-day implementation and dissemination of their work in 3 distinct community settings and research contexts, including:

• a home visiting partnership in Seattle serving individuals of many Indigenous backgrounds,

• an early childhood education partnership with a Tribal Nation in Montana, and

• partnerships focused on Native children, families, and programs nationally.


Virtual Learning Circles are open to everyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Tribal data sovereignty in real world research and community settings.
