Pine Ridge, Eagle Butte, Rosebud, Lower Brule (South Dakota) and Belcourt (North Dakota)
In cooperation with the Oglala Sioux (Lakota) Housing Authority, Sicangu Wicoti Awanyakapi (SWA) Corporation (Rosebud), Cheyenne River Housing Authority, Turtle Mountain Housing Authority, Lower Brule Housing Authority, Big Water designed and coordinated housing unit mapping and household surveys on five reservations. The purpose of the project was to collect population and housing needs data for each tribe that could be used to challenge and replace U.S. Census data, as authorized by the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA). The project also developed a model for collaborative, large-scale tribal data collection.
