This week on APTN InFocus, host Cierra Bettens explores the growing movement for Indigenous data sovereignty.
In a TED Talk, British investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr warns we may already be “living inside the architecture of totalitarianism,” referring to the predatory ways big tech companies harvest, use and sell data.
Data holds a lot. It holds stories, histories, languages — all the information that defines who we are and where we come from.
It’s also a resource — and like other resources, it can be exploited by corporate and colonial interests.
To unpack what Indigenous data sovereignty means and how it’s being put into action, Cierra is joined by Jeff Ward, founder and CEO of Animikii. His Indigenous tech company has launched Niiwin, a platform designed to help communities manage and protect their data on their own terms.
