DATA SOVEREIGNTY
Indigenous Governance and Relationality (CARE Principles; Tribal Nations readings)
Data is not just information — it’s a living relationship tied to people, places, and responsibilities.
Collective vs. Individual Rights:
Data belongs to communities, not individuals.
-
Cultural Stewardship:
Elders and knowledge holders guide data sharing, grounded in ceremony and ethics.
Governance Structures:
Traditional governance (families, clans, ceremonies) still guide who has authority to manage data.
