AIPI's policy update focuses on federal legislation, congressional hearings, and federal register notices affecting Tribal Nations. The policy update also highlights actions from the Arizona State Legislature and Governor. If you are viewing this digitally, there are links embedded throughout the document which will allow you to view more information on any given item.

Tribal Digital Sovereignty is the overarching term that encompasses both Tribal Network Sovereignty and Tribal Data Sovereignty.

The American Policy Institute (AIPI) tracks proposed legislation and other congressional actions through the monthly policy update in order to inform readers of important actions affecting Indian Country. Up until now, our monthly update has been a comprehensive document covering a wide range of activity from Congress, federal agencies, and the Arizona legislature. We have revamped our policy update publication to make it something more practical and accessible; something easier to fit into your busy schedule.
