Indigenous Data Governance in Digital Heritage
Word cloud of terms in CARE Principles and the Reuse, Sharing, and Curation of Indigenous Data in Canadian ArchaeologyIndigenous data governance principles such as OCAP® (Ownership, Control, Access, Possession) and the CARE (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, Ethics) principles can provide an ethical framework for developing digital methods and data practices for archaeology in the 21st century.
This study includes issues of data quality, data reuse, community-led research design, digital heritage and anti-colonial archaeological practice. Part of this work is being developed as part of the Materializing Indigenous Histories and my research project, Building an Anti-Colonial Digital Archaeology in the Canadian Context through Indigenous Data Governance Principles.
