Concerns about secondary use of data and limited opportunities for benefit-sharing have focused attention on the tension that Indigenous communities feel between (1) protecting rights interests in (including traditional knowledges) (2) supporting open data, machine learning, broad sharing, big initiatives. The International Data Sovereignty Interest Group (within Research Alliance) is a network nation-state based sovereignty networks individuals developed 'CARE Principles Governance'...
Ethnobiology, like many fields, was shaped by early Western imperial efforts to colonize people and lands around the world extract natural resources. Those legacies practices persist today continue influence institutions ethnobiologists are a part of, how they carry out research, their personal beliefs actions. Various authors have previously outlined five overlapping “phases” of ethnobiology. Here, we argue that ethnobiology should move toward sixth phase in which scholars practitioners...
A recent Molecular Ecology editorial made a proactive statement of support for the "Nagoya Protocol" and principle benefit-sharing by requiring authors to provide "Data Accessibility Benefit-Sharing Statement" in their articles.

Open-knowledge communities, the public domain and policies protecting global sharing of information resources seek to counter last decade IP maximalization. Such movements aim rebalance ‘public’ interests within discourse. Historically, dispossession Indigenous persons in settler communities was concomitant with their exclusion from ‘the public’. This has significant consequences for peoples struggling regain control over knowledge today. article considers imaginary inclusions that underlie...
Fair and equitable benefit sharing of genetic resources is an expectation the Nagoya Protocol. Although Protocol does not yet formally apply to Digital Sequence Information ("DSI"), discussions are currently underway regarding include such data through ongoing Convention on Biological Diversity ("CBD") negotiations. While Indigenous Peoples Local Communities ("IPLC") expect value generated from genomic be subject arrangements, a range views being expressed by Nation States, IPLC other...
Internationally, questions of ethics and equity, especially in relation to responsible sharing data across multiple national platforms, are creating a new range issues for researchers the science innovation sectors. In many nation states, even those that not yet signatories Nagoya Protocol (Secretariat Convention on Biological Diversity 2011), there is general acknowledgement future biological, ecological environmental support generative economic opportunities, must address rights Indigenous...

Museums, archives, and libraries are important places of re-connection re-animation for Indigenous peoples communities. Ethnographic collections held within these sites tell very particular histories about the colonial experience, including how Native culture was transformed into forms exclusive property through practices research, collecting, documentation. The Penobscot Nation is one many tribes grappling with reality that it legal owner neither material in institutions nor representations...
