Trainers: Jane Anderson, Maui Hudson, Janette Hamilton-Pearce, Felicia Garcia and Corrie Roe from Local Contexts
Every Indigenous community has cultural and biological collections within archives, libraries, and museums that they do not own, do not control, and cannot govern circulation over. Local Contexts supports Indigenous communities to manage their intellectual and cultural property, cultural heritage, environmental data, and genetic resources within digital environments through the TK (Traditional Knowledge) & BC (Biocultural) Labels and Notices. In this session, learn about the Local Contexts (localcontexts.org) initiative and how it works to support Indigenous cultural authority and Indigenous data sovereignty.
