GIDA-Sápmi - Sámi Research Data Governance

About

GIDA-Sápmi is a network established to develop guiding principles of collection, management, use, sharing, and protection of research data generated by or about the Sámi people and Sámi society.

The Global Indigenous Data Alliance (GIDA) is a global network of Indigenous researchers, data practitioners, and policy activists advocating for Indigenous data governance to advance Indigenous data control within their nation-states and at an international level.

Connected to the global network, the GIDA-Sápmi network was founded in June 2021 with members from various universities, memory institutions, and archives in Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The objectives of GIDA-Sápmi include:

to promote, adapt, and operationalise the CARE principles to the Nordic Sámi context;
to make the Nordic research community, memory and archival institutions aware of the Indigenous CARE principles; and
to advance the discussion on Sámi data governance principles. The GIDA-Sápmi network is committed to strengthen Sámi data governance and Sámi research data for the needs of contemporary Sámi society.
