Local Contexts’ Member, Subscriber, and Integration Partner (previously Service Providers) Programs were developed to support our mission and sustain the Hub. Our goal is to create multi-generational resources that support Indigenous data sovereignty. These programs are a core component of our work toward sustainability and are designed to foster mutual trust and respect. We acknowledge power imbalances between Indigenous communities and institutions and organizations that hold Indigenous cultural and other heritage, genetic resources, and knowledge.
