Environmental Data Justice (IEDJ) names the manifold practices and principles that diverse Indigenous communities develop in response to the pervasive structures of colonial environmental datafication and towards creating their own sovereign data governance practices. Describing a constellation of Indigenous community-specific place-thought data relations and practices from Turtle Island and Ecuador that are nonetheless convergent, this paper confronts the commonalities of colonial data structures. Within our framework of IEDJ, we describe data as something that does not necessarily measure. Our research work perceives data as extensive forms of relations constituted by specific places, communities, lands, and waters. Following the principles of Indigenous Data Sovereignty and IEDJ, we share examples of Indigenous practices for working with data and within research that we apply at the Technoscience Research Unit, an Indigenous-led lab that draws together Indigenous approaches to science and technology studies.
