PA43C:
Indigenous Data Sovereignty: How Scientists and Researchers Can Empower Indigenous Data Governance Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 46498

Session Description:
Like other nation states, Indigenous nations need data about their citizens and communities to make informed decisions. However, other government agencies (local, state, federal) and researchers typically collect these data with limited input from the communities these data characterize. Indigenous data sovereignty (IDS) is the right of Indigenous peoples and nations to govern the collection, ownership, and application of data about Indigenous communities, peoples, lands, and resources. This session will feature presentations focusing on projects where principles of  IDS played a role in the research carried out and/or scholarship that explores the relevance of IDS in research related to environmental change, hazards, geohealth, and other fields pertinent to AGU. One goal of the session is to facilitate a dialogue about how Indigenous scholars and other researchers can promote research that addresses Indigenous community concerns, is relevant and accountable to community needs, and follows best practices that respect IDS.
