Our NSMTC Data Management Team works with the First Nations Information Governance Centre (FNIGC) and other First Nation organizations across Canada to support data sovereignty. It’s important for everyone to understand what data is, what data sovereignty means, and what the First Nations Principles of OCAP® are. Let’s start the conversation.
💻 Data is more than just research – it includes every piece of information sent, received, or stored online or on a device. That means texts, emails, photos, health records, online forms, and more. Knowing what counts as data is the first step in protecting it.
