Indigenous Data Sovereignty
Indigenous Data Sovereignty asserts the rights of indigenous Peoples to own, control, access and possess data that derive from them. Yoorrook’s Letters Patent require the Commission to uphold the sovereignty of First Peoples over their knowledge and stories by consulting with them on how the information they provide should be treated and ensuring adequate information and data protection.
Yoorrook applies Indigenous Data Sovereignty protocols to the collection, storage, and use of First Peoples’ information. These protocols respect the decisions of First People on how their data are used, protected, accessed, and shared now and in the future.
First Peoples who make submissions to Yoorrook have provided their consent for the Commission to use their submission for the purposes of conducting Yoorrook’s work. Ownership of First Peoples’ submissions remains with the author of the submission. Their permission may be required to use their submission for any other purposes.
