Assuming data is stored at the tribe, tribes should develop policies for whether the data can be removed from the archive or if it should be retained in a data enclave. Though a non-tribal researcher could likely consider the privacy considerations, a tribe is perhaps best suited to consider negative outcomes of sharing data, or portions of the data, improperly shared within its population (Harding et al. 2011). Some data can be shared only under the most controlled conditions. If, for example, there is any risk of subject or sacred place identification, ceremony or explanation of an affiliated object, the tribe may ask that users submit requests for specific analyses or come to the tribe’s archive to access specific data or run analyses under supervision.

Data enclaves were designed to deal with such security situations. In order to gain access to restricted data, researchers would submit a detailed description of their projects and request permission to the holding entity to see it in situ. The proposal usually includes personal identification and institutional affiliation, a current resume, dates of proposed tenure at the data enclave, source of funding, a detailed summary of the proposed research including a statement of why publicly available data are insufficient, and a complete list of data requested, including data system, files, years, variables, and the like. A committee formed by the holding entity, reviews proposals and assesses if the proposed activity constitutes research or an illegal attempt to identify respondents, or if there is risk that respondents will be identified, inadvertently. Data enclaves seem particularly useful for tribes, though many tribes do not have the resources or training to maintain an enclave.

We are considering a data enclave as part of the tribal archive. This, in our initial consideration, will provide more options for access restrictions.9. Who will organize the data, provide it in standardized formats, and provide a guide to contents?
