Description
Summary:"As the global 'data revolution' accelerates, how can the data rights and interests of Indigenous peoples be secured? Premised on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, this book argues that Indigenous peoples have inherent and inalienable rights relating to the collection, ownership and application of data about them, and about their lifeways and territories. As the first book to focus on Indigenous data sovereignty, it asks: what does data sovereignty mean for Indigenous peoples, and how is it being used in their pursuit of self-determination?"--Publisher's website
