Description
Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Governance is rapidly gaining momentum across the world. Indigenous people from many nations are exercising their rights to self-determination under frameworks such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In Australia, the National Agreement on Closing the Gap Priority Reform 4 recognises the importance of “Shared access to data and information at a regional level”. Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Governance principles and frameworks are being considered and gaining acceptance at all levels of government, within the university sector, and across businesses and community organisations. An understanding of these principles is important for anyone working in Indigenous spaces and particularly with Indigenous data.
While exploring the wider concepts of Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Governance, this presentation will share key early learnings of an ongoing project to operationalise Indigenous Data Sovereignty in the context of establishing an enduring data asset, consisting of data from a range of stakeholders in the Kimberley region.
There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and questions.
