I am so grateful to @PattyMurray and her continuous support of @TheSIHB and I❤️

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

.@echohawkd3 is a real changemaker. Her research and tireless advocacy to address violence against Indigenous women have spurred policy changes across the country, at all levels of government.

Congratulations on the well deserved #TIME100Next, Abigail! https://t.co/0WHGK8qSSO

I found the other Native in the room! Excited to see him speak later today ❤️ #Pawnee #Kickapoo #HEF2024 @echohawkd3

Keep hearing “underserved communities,” here’s our take on that phrasing #healthequity #HEP2024 @echohawkd3

[Urban Indian Health Institute @TheUIHI]

“Find the data, show the data, there is no such thing as alternative facts” ….but for Native people the data genocide being perpetrated effectively limits the “facts”, and that is something we need to talk about! @echohawkd3 #HEP2024

[Urban Indian Health Institute @TheUIHI]

I’m grateful for POC working to undo structural racism like Dr.Leaphart. Thomas Jefferson perpetuated one of biggest genocidal policies of Indigenous people and a legacy of chattel slavery and rape. Yet his name is prevalent. We need folks in these systems breaking them down!

[Abigail Echo-Hawk @echohawkd3]

I challenge our health equity community to do better

[Urban Indian Health Institute @TheUIHI]

I’m struggling with the continuous use of “food deserts.” As a Hopi elder shared with me, Indigenous people thrived in deserts that always provided food systems since time immemorial. To achieve health equity we have to step out of colonial ideas of food systems.

The Seattle Indian Health Board said it received pushback from the Seattle Police Department over how to track cases of missing and murdered Indigenous people. https://t.co/Dp2gczQGjN

Centering tribal data sovereignty is key to transforming public health data and systems across all governments. Findings and recommendations from researcher and #decolonizeddata activist @echohawkd3 and colleagues: https://t.co/XOZH7jEqLZ @RWJF

✨"But it wasn’t until her early 20s that Ms. Echo-Hawk realized that data was not just information—it could also be power."

Feeling inspired by @echohawkd3, a public health worker helping to empower people with data + make data collection more inclusive. https://t.co/DqOLPiozgh

@mclemoremr @nytimes Thank you! Feeling is mutual

[Chiara Sottile @CASottile]

My latest story for @Stacker explores how Indigenous data warriors like @native4data & @echohawkd3 are fighting for data sovereignty: Indigenous systems for gathering and using data in spite of a system built to exclude them. Read it here: https://t.co/1pJqsM87eA

[Abigail Echo-Hawk @echohawkd3]

I recently sat down for an interview with @RWJF to talk about Indigenous data and the importance of reclaiming ownership of our own data. We do not need decisions made about us or without us. It’s only with us and for us. Read more here: https://t.co/2c7bcY36AR

When Black scholars get asked to do unnecessary stuff, we should respond with: "that work may shorten my telomere lengths and affect my cortisol levels, which puts me at greater risk for heart disease. So the answer is no! "
