[Nmtriblibs] Archives, Cultural Authority, Heritage Collections, Data - Local Contexts (focusing on Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property and Indigenous Data Sovereignty)

[Osterloh, Cassandra, DCA]

Those who are looking to doing more archival work, especially digitization, take a look at this information regarding Local Contexts. I am (newly) working on their NM team, along with others like Sarah Kostelecky (UNM) and Jonathan Pringle (NM State Archivist). If you have questions and/or want more information, you can contact them at: outreach at localcontexts.org
I would recommend, however, first taking a look around the website and signing up for one of the Informational Sessions.

Local Contexts is a global initiative that supports Indigenous communities with tools that can reassert cultural authority in heritage collections and data. By focusing on Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property and Indigenous Data Sovereignty, Local Contexts helps Indigenous communities repatriate knowledge and gain control over how data is collected, managed, displayed, accessed, and used in the future.


Local Contexts recognizes the inherent sovereignty that Indigenous communities have over knowledge and data that comes from their lands, territories, and waters.


Local Contexts Labels and Notices were created to ground intellectual and cultural property rights in cultural heritage, data, and genetic resources within digital environments.


Do you have questions about Local Contexts? Curious about how you can use the Traditional Knowledge and Biocultural Labels and Notices to support Indigenous data sovereignty and cultural authority?
