University at Buffalo 3 credits Indigenous Studies
Grounded in long-standing Indigenous struggles against historical and ongoing colonization and building upon our Indigenous rights to data stewardship under international law (circa 2007βs UNDRIP), Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDSov) emerged in the 2010s as a framework that ensures Indigenous access and control over data about our peoples, territories, lifeways, and resources. After a primer on Indigeneity and the problems of colonial racialization and Indigenous elimination in Indigenous statistics, this course dives into a survey of the burgeoning landscape of IDSov initiatives emerging across the Anglophone settler-colonial states (Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the United States), with a particular emphasis on the political economy of IDSov in Indigenous nonprofits in the continental US.
