+Limitations
+Greater granularity of our analyses extending to Indigenous-owned natural resources was not achievable due to national-level data as opposed to state- and county-level data being reported for Indigenous-owned resources to protect sensitive and private information. The original data also grouped resources as being sourced from either onshore or offshore land types; drilling down further to sub-categorize these land types could reveal greater insights than what these two major groups showed. Additonally, given the collaboration among the five government and non-profit organizations to create the dataset for this study, it was surprising that data for state-owned natural resources could not be incorporated as well. Having data for both federally-owned and state-owned resources would provide even more observations from which potential trends could be identified.
+Regarding the validity and reliability of the data, it was not clear how exactly the organizations collected the data. The author of the Kaggle dataset cited these organizations as original sources, but because there were no specific details about the way data was captured, we are limited in our ability to confirm the validity of their methodology and reliability of their measurements. Finally, in terms of analyses, given the large imbalance of non-renewable resource observations compared to renewable resource data, statistical testing for significance in differences between the groups may not be valid without power analyses to confirm that sample requirements for both groups could be met.
