<div dir="ltr">Hi Suchith,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think you should start by connecting with the Global Indigenous Data Alliance which lists some resources for reference. They published the
<a href="https://www.gida-global.org/care">CARE principles</a> which outline some ethical principles about safeguarding Indigenous data. A couple of books: 1.
<a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d3799de845604000199cd24/t/5d6f8aae27641800017a9473/1567591089094/Indigenous+Data+Sovereignty+Book.pdf">
Indigenous Data Sovereignty: Towards an Agenda</a> and 2. Traditional Ecological Knowledge: Learning from Indigenous Practices for Environmental Sustainability. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There's also an IDSolv RDA group: <a href="https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/international-indigenous-data-sovereignty-ig">https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/international-indigenous-data-sovereignty-ig</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is a real conflict with Digital Feudalism and Indigenous peoples concepts of land and territory. I've battled with this within our work in the Mekong region and it's challenging to find a middle ground. Please touch base to discuss this further if
you would like, I'd be interested to learn more about the approach you intend to take with the article. </div>
<div><br>

<div>Regards,<br>
Pyrou</div>

about 15 percent of the extreme poor. They safeguard 80 percent of the world’s remaining biodiversity. The land on which they live and the natural resources on which they depend are inextricably linked to their identities, cultures, livelihoods, as well as
their physical and spiritual well-being. I respect the kindness, resilience, dignity and strength of indigenous peoples around the world.</span></p>
