0328 Exploration of the Impact of Canada’s Information Management on First Nations Data Sovereignty
$30.00
The presentation critically examines Canada’s Information Management practices, highlighting systematic barriers to First Nations’ data sovereignty.
Key issues include:
- Over-collection of First Nations’ data and information by the Crown;
- Sale of access to First Nations data by the Crown to third parties;
- Usage of First Nations data in ways that perpetuate negative stereotypes; and
- Colonial belief in discounting First Nations oral traditions as untrustworthy.
