“You gotta understand the logistics of home, the ways [nuances] of home, before creating any solutions for home.” –Lester Tu??aq Hadley, Sr. Presenters will introduce the REAL CARE framework: a community-driven approach to Indigenous data sovereignty and governance. REAL CARE was developed through The Rematriation Project, which is a collaboration involving Iñupiaq community members and academic partners. REAL—Reclaim Relevant Data, Engage Community and Values, Authority to Control, and Learn Through Data—emerged from the community’s interactions with the CARE principles and addresses the unique needs of Indigenous communities related to data. Partners on the project will discuss how REAL CARE provides Indigenous communities with a framework to lead data initiatives, reclaim and generate knowledge on their own terms, and address community goals through culturally appropriate, actionable data strategies.
