On the left: A quote from Stephany RunningHawk Johnson (Oglala Lakota Nation), Founding Executive Director of Local Contexts, reads: "At Local Contexts, we believe that Indigenous communities should be connected with their data.

On the right: A quote from Chris Shillum, Executive Director of ORCID, reads: "One of ORCID’s three values is Inclusivity, so we are delighted to be working with Local Contexts to help researchers demonstrate that they respect the CARE Principles and support the rights of Indigenous Peoples to exert greater control over Indigenous data and Indigenous Knowledge."

In the article “Local Contexts and ORCID Partner to Advance Indigenous Data Sovereignty,” authored by Julie Petro, Director of Communications at ORCID, Local Contexts and ORCID announce a new cooperation agreement to promote the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance and the use of Local Contexts Labels and Notices throughout the research data lifecycle.
