New policy brief on recognizing Indigenous provenance in metadata

“Indigenous communities have expressed a need to understand where genetic resources are and how they are being used. ... The Labels can help communities identify what research has been done and who is utilizing genetic resources and DSI. It enables communities to have their name associated with those data resources and publications. Recognizing Indigenous Interests: Labeling DSI with Provenance Metadata by Jane Anderson, Maui Hudson, Stephany RunningHawk Johnson, KatieLee Riddle. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13172148.” Text on decorative yellow background with Local Contexts logo, a ring made of dots.

“Recognizing Indigenous Interests: Labeling DSI with Provenance Metadata” highlights how the Local Contexts Labels and Notices are becoming essential tools for recognizing Indigenous provenance, protocols, and permissions.
