RDA 25th Plenary Meeting [part of International Data Week 2025]

The CARE* principles serve as foundational pillars to guide the management of data concerning or associated with Indigenous communities. Emphasising Collective Benefit underscores the importance of collaborative approaches, Authority to Control supports Indigenous sovereignty over data, Responsibility entails the establishment of clear accountability structures and processes, and Ethical considerations prioritise the protection of Indigenous knowledge, cultural protocols, and privacy rights. By adhering to these CARE principles, we can strive to foster self-determination, promote equitable partnerships, and address historical injustices. This session will provide three different perspectives on the challenges of indigenous data governance and existing and developing responses. Chair: Rosie Hicks. Speakers: Alfred J.P. Lin, Niklas Labba, Marcia Langton. More on the speakers here
