Data Sovereignty for Indigenous Peoples - Why Does It Matter?

The Indigenous Data Network (IDN), a national network founded by -amongst others - the Australian National University and the University of Melbourne, calls for indigenous data sovereignty, where indigenous data is defined as information or knowledge, in any format or medium, which is about and may affect Indigenous peoples both collectively and individually. In its work, the network collaborated with Indonesian researchers and artists, particularly on the subjects of culture and history, since there is a history of centuries-long trade and friendship between the first nations people in the north of Australia and several tribes of the Indonesian archipelago such as the Bugis and Makassans.
