The 2018 Indigenous Data Sovereignty Summit delegates asserted that in Australia, Indigenous peoples have the right to:

• Exercise control of the data ecosystem including creation, development, stewardship, analysis, dissemination, and infrastructure.

• Data that [are] contextual and disaggregated (available and accessible at individual, community, and First Nations levels).

• Data that [are] relevant and empower[s] sustainable self-determination and effective self-governance.

• Data structures [and ecosystems] that are accountable to Indigenous peoples and First Nations.

• Data that [are] protective and respect[s] our individual and collective interests.1
