(2020) - "The ‘CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance’ (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics) (RDA IG 2019) empower Indigenous Peoples by shifting the focus from regulated consultation to value-based relationships that position data approaches within Indigenous cultures and knowledge systems to the benefit of Indigenous Peoples (Castellano 2004; Anderson et al. 2003). This shift ultimately promotes equitable participation in processes of data reuse, which will result in more equitable outcomes."
