ENRICH (Equity for Indigenous Research and Innovation Coordinating Hub) Webinar: 3D Replicas and Data Ownership, on April 17, 2023, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm ET / 10:00 am – 11:30 am PT.
An increase in the prevalence and popularity of “digital repatriation” requires a critical analysis of Indigenous data governance. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples recognizes the right to ‘maintain, control, protect and develop [Indigneous] cultural heritage. What measures can Indigenous communities take to protect these rights in the process of 3D replica making? This webinar will engage topics of intellectual property, Indigenous data sovereignty, and rematriation.
ENRICH centers on Indigenous rights to develop, control, and govern Indigenous data. ENRICH responds to the challenges of accelerated production and use of data across government, scientific, and innovation platforms which can exacerbate the appropriation of Indigenous knowledge and the alienation of Indigenous peoples from digitally enabled futures. Remembering the past and integrating Indigenous wisdom into our institutional structures creates space for Indigenous communities to become integral members of our global shared future.
