Description
Indigenous data governance is a critical aspect of upholding Indigenous rights and fostering equitable partnerships in research and data management. The CARE Principles (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, and Ethics) are designed to guide the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in data governance, and increase their access to and benefit from data. This talk will share emerging tools and resources that can be leveraged to implement the CARE Principles within research and data relationships.
