Caring for Country through Governance of Indigenous Cultural Knowledge

This project aims to strengthen Indigenous rules, protocols and practices for the use of cultural knowledge in Indigenous Land and Sea Management (ILSM). This project expects to generate new knowledge about the practical steps needed to implement Indigenous Data Governance in ILSM, using a novel Indigenous-led interdisciplinary methodology. Expected outcomes of this project include tools and practical exemplars that can be used to support the implementation of Indigenous Data Governance across the Australian land management and conservation sectors. This should provide significant benefits, such as the intergenerational renewal of Indigenous knowledge, language and governance systems, and improved cultural heritage and ecosystem management.
