Register for Data Sovereignty of Indigenous People´s Earth Observations Webinar, Nov 6

Oct 23, 2024

Join us November 6, 8 a.m. EST, for the webinar Data Sovereignty of Indigenous People´s Earth Observations. Indigenous data sovereignty refers to the right of Indigenous peoples to control the collection, ownership and application of data about themselves, their communities, lands, territories and waters. In Earth sciences, the observations of Indigenous Peoples represent an important source of information to understand natural phenomena but the ability of indigenous peoples, communities and nations to steward and control data that is created with or about themselves, has been mismanaged and, sometimes, overlooked. In this webinar we will explore cases from the perspective of Indigenous Peoples on how to better recognize the inherent rights to their knowledges. This is the second in a series. The first webinar in the series is available on our YouTube.
