Indigenous Research Engagement Guide
The Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI) has developed an Indigenous (Inuit, Métis, and First Nation) Engagement Guide (The Guide or Guide) to facilitate efforts toward respectful and meaningful engagement with Indigenous governments, communities, and organizations (Indigenous groups). This initiative recognizes and seeks to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission: Calls to Action, Education for Reconciliation, calls 62: ii (TRC 2015), The Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct of Research Involving Humans, 2nd Edition: Chapter 9 (TCPS 2 2018) and aspires to align with the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP 2008).

Indigenous Data Sovereignty: How Researchers can Empower Data Governance
|
|
In this seminar talk, Dr. Lydia Jennings discusses what constitutes Indigenous data, how to apply an Indigenous data sovereignty framework to environmental research, examples of Indigenous data governance, Tribal Nations’ leading the scientific inquiry process, and how environmental scientists can co-create with Indigenous communities to answer community driven research questions.

The CARE Principles of Indigenous Data Governance
|
The current shift to big data, open science, and open data does not fully engage with Indigenous Peoples rights and interests. Over the past five years, Indigenous data sovereignty has become a movement to increase both Indigenous access to Indigenous data and Indigenous leadership within data governance. Given that most Indigenous data are held by non-Indigenous governments, institutions, and agencies, increasing Indigenous Peoples participation in data governance activities is central to realizing Indigenous data sovereignty. How can organizations like CGIAR (1) support the creation of new institutional frameworks that center the terms of Indigenous communities around research and data partnerships and (2) enact policy and practice changes that protect and strengthen Indigenous Peoples’ relationships with their data, information, and knowledge?

Indigenous Data Sovereignty of Indigenous People's Earth Observations
|
|
Indigenous data sovereignty refers to the right of Indigenous peoples to control the collection, ownership and application of data about themselves, their communities, lands, territories and waters. In Earth sciences, the observations of Indigenous Peoples represent an important source of information to understand natural phenomena but the ability of indigenous peoples, communities and nations to steward and control data that is created with or about themselves, has been mismanaged and, sometimes, overlooked. In this webinar we will explore cases from the perspective of Indigenous Peoples on how to better recognize the inherent rights to their knowledges. Panelists will deepen our understanding on the ethical use of data to advance the collective well-being and self-determination of Indigenous groups and to redefine indigenous roles to research. Some challenges and key principles will be explored including the collective benefit and authority control of the data, ethics, responsibility and accountability.
