description AbstractIn their viewpoint, Schmit and colleagues thoughtfully discuss tribal public authority, as well as barriers and facilitators to the responsible use of data generated by or collected from members of sovereign American Indian and Alaska Native Nations.

These additional topics will better contextualize the ethical, legal, and social issues specific to American Indian and Alaska Native public health practice.
