The June Session of Hot Topics in Practice will examine the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives in Alaska and highlight the importance of data sovereignty as a pathway toward justice and healing. Presenter Charlene Aqik Apok, PhD, MA, will discuss how Indigenous communities are using data systems to document harm, advocate for policy change, and assert their right to self-determination. By the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will be better able to recognize the scope and complexity of the MMIR crisis, understand the role of data in shaping narratives and interventions, and increase their knowledge of data sovereignty as a tool for public health and community empowerment.
Register today to learn how Indigenous-led approaches to data sovereignty are reshaping public health responses to the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives in Alaska.
