POLICY BRIEF: Ethics and Indigenous Data Governance

In the era of open Data and open science, it is important that data on indigenous knowledge is shared in an ethical manner. Decisions on what data is to be shared shouldlie with Indiginous populations themselves, ensuring their autonomy and self-determination. This policy brief focuses on data prinnciples such as CARE and JUST policies and practice. We argue that existing data sharing principles such as FAIR and CARE are not fully ethical and adequate to deal with indigenous knowledge and data governance.
