“…• Inconsistent, inaccurate, and irrelevant data for Indigenous peoples; • External control and ownership of data; • Community mistrust of data resulting from exploitative research and policies; • Lack of external support for data infrastructure and capability; and, • Data that describe Indigenous peoples and lifeways through a deficit lens (Rodriguez-Lonebear 2016, Rainie et al 2017c, Kukutai and Taylor 2016, Walter 2016.…”

Data have become the new global currency, and a powerful force in making decisions and wielding power. As the world engages with open data, big data reuse, and data linkage, what do data-driven futures look like for communities plagued by data inequities? Indigenous data stakeholders and non-Indigenous allies have explored this question over the last three years in a series of meetings through the Research Data Alliance (RDA). Drawing on RDA and other gatherings, and a systematic scan of literature and practice, we consider possible answers to this question in the context of Indigenous peoples vis-á-vis two emerging concepts: IndigenousdatasovereigntyandIndigenousdatagovernance.Specifically,wefocusonthe

“…This raises questions such as how do Māori influence the parameters for the use of such data (Hudson et al 2016)? Furthermore, what are the intellectual property rights in the context of research and the dissemination of mātauranga-based knowledge (Kukutai and Taylor 2016;Smith et al 2016)? Hui like the Māori Data Futures workshop (SFTI 2018) identified themes around control, mātauranga-accessed, multiplicity of formats (including digital, analogue, biological, kōrero/speech, and whakairo/carving - Figure 1), understanding the nonfinancial value of the data, and potential to support innovation, and that the worth of the data be used to support Māori growth.…”

Aotearoa New Zealand is a land and cultures surrounded by one of the planet's larger marine exclusive economic zones per capita. Understanding, living within and utilising this domain requires a well-developed knowledge of the physical oceanographyfate, provenance and transfer of ocean-water, material and energy. In the Aotearoa New Zealand context, understanding and utilising the environment through science also requires that Māori have a stake in the science and a pathway to connecting with their mātauranga. The pūtahitanga (intersection) of mātauranga Māori and western science perspectives brings challenges for implementation of the Vision Mātauranga framework for physical oceanographic science. Here we discuss the drivers and key themes for the pūtahitanga and propose a mahere kaupapa/plan bound by: (i) climate, (ii) decolonisation, (iii) shared language, (iv) data sovereignty, and (v) developing a cohort who can lead the field in the coming decades. TUHINGA-WHAKARĀPOPOTOKua karapotia te whenua me te ahurei o Aotearoa e te ohaoha aukatinga o te moana nunui tuarua o te ao mō ia ūpoko. Kia mārama, kia whakatīnana hoki ai tēnei tauwāhi me whakawhānui ngā mōhiotanga mō te mātai aumoanate tīmatanga me te whakawhitinga o te wai, ngā rauemi, me ngā pūngao. Nō roto mai te horopaki o Aotearoa, mā te putaiao ko māramatanga me te whakatīnanatanga i te taiao, nā tēnei āhua he wāhi mō Ngāi Māori ki te tūhono ō rātou matauranga ki ō rātou huanui hoki.Ko te pūtahitanga o ngā mātauranga Māori me ngā mātauranga pūtaiao Pākehā e wero tonu ana kia whakatīnana te pou tarāwaho o te Titirohanga Mātauranga mō te mātai aumoana. Koinei te matapakinga mō ngā pūtake me ngā mōraro matua mō te pūtahitanga e tūtohu ana he mahere: (i) purenga ihomatua, whakapurenga ngā ihomatua o te mātai aumoana, (ii) whakaahu he reo tohatoha, (iii) ko ētahi raraunga ka mau ake a Ngāi Māori (ā whānui nei), (iv) whakaahu te pito mata o tētahi rāngai kia arahi te whīra mō ngā tau e heke mai nei.

“…Indigenous self-identification is current best practice within national data sets in Australia, however, progress is still being made as how to best govern national data used for research, policy and practice. Arising from community discussions internationally and nationally, the conversation has been framed as 'Indigenous data sovereignty' which includes the inherent and inalienable rights and interests of Indigenous peoples to the control of data storage, ownership and access of data [41]. Self-determination is a central concept within the development of data governance.…”
