Tribal Digital and Data Sovereignty
Tribal Digital Sovereignty (TDS), and the companion principle of Tribal Data Sovereignty, recognizes that the inherent self-governance authority of Tribal Nations extends to the digital realm — including digital assets, like data.
Lepwe is a thought leader on the emerging frontiers of Tribal digital and data sovereignty — helping shape new frameworks for Tribal digital jurisdiction, AI regulation, and data governance and defining how Tribal Nations engage with and control data in an increasingly digitized world.
