Project Description

How can government-to-government consultation with Indigenous peoples at the subnational level better promote Indigenous sovereignty and the health and wellness of Indigenous communities in the United States?

ELI, NATHPO, Swinomish Elder Larry Campbell, and Dr. Jamie Donatuto examine the effectiveness of Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and Senate Bill (SB) 18, two California laws that require state agencies and local governments to consult with California Native American Tribes.

Project Fact Sheet:

Indigenous Health Indicators: IHIs are community-based indicators of indigenous health specific to a Native American tribal community. IHIs provide a tangible evaluation method for a Tribe to demonstrate their respective health and wellbeing priorities, based on their worldviews and cultures.
