  3. Racial Misclassification…deflates our actual numbers What do you consider your race?

  4. Lack of Data Sharing …makes it difficult to access Tribal figures

  6. Social Norms and Values …can be inhibitive

  7. Close Knit Communities …can inflate social stigmas

  8. Community Insulation …makes us feel safe and protected
