Indigenous data governance is a field of research that focuses on the ethical and responsible management, control, and use of data collected from Indigenous communities. This area of study addresses the importance of self-determination and sovereignty for Indigenous populations in relation to their own data. It emphasizes the need for Indigenous communities to determine how their data is collected, stored, and shared in a way that respects their cultural values, traditions, and rights. Indigenous data governance also aims to empower Indigenous peoples to have greater control over their data and to ensure that it is used in ways that benefit their communities.
