Indigenous data sovereignty is the idea that Indigenous Peoples should decide how to collect, own, and use their own data.

Public trust is the key to unlocking the full potential of the bioeconomy. Without it, the U.S. may fall short of long-term economic goals.

Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDS) is the right of Indigenous people to own and govern data about their communities, resources, and lands. It means Indigenous people are the stewards of data collection and the research done using their data; they are in control of what and how this data is accessed and used. Perhaps most importantly, it means Indigenous people have authoritative input in the application of the knowledge that derives from their data, especially when it comes to policy making.
