The CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance Edit

In this first formal publication of the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance, both the principles themselves and their predecessors are explained. In addition to the accompanying concepts and supporting initiatives, the connections and areas of tension between the “people-centric” approach of the CARE Principles and the “data-centric” approach of principles such as FAIR and the Open Data Charter are explained.

Concerns about secondary use of data and limited opportunities for benefit-sharing have focused attention on the tension that Indigenous communities feel between (1) protecting Indigenous rights and interests in Indigenous data (including traditional knowledge) and (2) supporting open data, machine learning, broad data sharing, and big data initiatives. The International Indigenous Data Sovereignty Interest Group (within the Research Data Alliance) is a network of nation-state based Indigenous data sovereignty networks and individuals that developed the ‘CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance’ (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics) in consultation with Indigenous Peoples, scholars, non-profit organizations, and governments.
