Microstep to Developing a Community Approach to TK Labels
Description:
The Traditional Knowledge (TK) and Biocultural (BC) Labels are digital tools to refocus relationships between people, place and data within archives, museums, libraries and open data environments. Created as a response to the failure of IP law to properly address Indigenous cultural and intellectual property interests, the Labels are practical mechanisms that support Indigenous cultural authority and community aspirations for Indigenous data sovereignty. As an extra-legal intervention that repositions Indigenous cultural authority and governance over Indigenous data and collections, the Labels add critical information like community names and protocols for access, use and circulation. They also establish standards for including proper provenance information for Indigenous data, and create the possibility for ongoing relationships between Indigenous communities, researchers and institutions, especially within environmental and emerging science contexts.
