When conducting research involving First Nations, M茅tis, and Inuit communities and their data, it is critical to ensure that the unique rights, interests, and circumstances of these communities are acknowledged, affirmed, and respected.
In line with the concept of Indigenous self-determination and in an effort to support Indigenous communities to conduct research and partner with the broader research community, we strongly encourage researchers to discuss and determine the level of data sensitivity in partnership with Indigenous communities for all research projects involving Indigenous knowledge, cultural expressions, and data.
Indigenous research data must be managed in accordance with data management principles developed and approved by these communities, and on the basis of free, prior, and informed consent.
