Listening Sessions
Tribal Engagement and Indigenous-Led Public Health Disaster Research
The Listening Sessions were designed to establish a community of practice for professionals who are currently involved in or have previous experience with tribal engagement or Indigenous-led public health disaster research.
We aimed to bring together disaster researchers of Indigenous descent as well as those who engage in public health research or outreach in collaboration with Indigenous populations or in tribal regions.
The first four sessions were held virtually, and the fifth and final session was held at the 48th Annual Natural Hazards Workshop:
