Description:
Indigenous Data Sovereignty refers to the rights of Indigenous peoples to control the collection, ownership, and use of data about themselves, including their communities, lands, and knowledge systems. This panel style presentation provides an overview of how Indigenous Data Sovereignty has been collaboratively supported from principles to practice through the development and application of the Supporting Indigenous Language Revitalization (SILR) Caretaking Directives.
James Doiron:
This first presentation provides foundational information with respect to Indigenous Data Sovereignty, including guiding principles and resources, along with notable ongoing efforts at the University of Alberta to support Indigenous Data Sovereignty in practice.
Leah Vanderjagt:
A critical component of this work was the Data Sovereignty Agreement which was an innovation of the SILR team. Notably different from other data agreements, this second presentation provides a brief overview of the SILR project, along with a review of the Data Sovereignty Agreement and explains its unique characteristics, application in practice, and future implications for the signatories.
Sean Luyk & Kevin Glick:
This third presentation describes the development of a resource-level restriction request management feature designed in partnership with the University of Alberta’s Supporting Indigenous Language Revitalization (SILR) initiative to allow data caretakers to directly approve or deny access to Indigenous knowledge recordings archived in Aviary, an audiovisual digital curation platform.
