Indigenous Data Science

My efforts to network around environmental data science (EDS) during the 2020s have put me in touch with several talented Indigenous data scientists who are teaching me much about Data Sovereignty, Traditional Knowledge, and how we might better collaborate in the future to heal the planet. I am curious about how these new conversations and collaborations will evolve my thinking and contributions.

Data Sovereignty Papers and Resources

“Ethics, like politics, is a matter for each nation to decide for itself…. Ethics reaches beyond sovereignty to right or wrong, independently of what people of any nation claim.” Blizek and Concess (1996) Ethics and Sovereignty.

Indigenous Organizations & Communities

This list is primarily about Indigenous data science, but includes other links pertinent to EDS and climate change. For instance, Digital Mappa is a system to network maps and ancient scrolls/texts, which could be quite useful for organizing sovereign documents. See also Environmental Organizations & Communities, which includes 350 and Project DrawDown as global efforts to address climate change, growing connections with Indigenous communities.
