Ethics Considerations

Indigenous Data Considerations

For research conducted by and with First Nations, M¨¦tis and Inuit communities, collectives and organizations, DMPs must be co-developed with these communities, collectives and organizations, in accordance with RDM principles or DMP formats that they accept, and respecting principles underlying Indigenous data sovereignty (e.g. OCAP Principles, CARE Principles). DMPs in the context of research by and with First Nations, M¨¦tis and Inuit communities, collectives and organizations should recognize Indigenous data sovereignty and include options for renegotiation of the DMP.

For research conducted by and with First Nations, M¨¦tis and Inuit communities, collectives and organizations, these communities, collectives or organizations will guide and ultimately determine how the data are collected, used and preserved, and have the right to repatriate the data.
