Data governance with CARE: A case study of interests under the kangaroo grass (Buwatj) project (Djandak Dja Kunditja, Country Healing its Home) (Report)

This research identified DJAARA and researchers’ rights, responsibilities, and priorities for kangaroo grass (Buwatj) (Themeda triandra) data and information collated and generated through the Djadak Dja Kunditja project (Country Healing its Home). Data was collected through structured interviews and analysed for key themes. How the CARE principles support and align with these key themes were mapped and reported here. Then, from this information, we included a list of recommended areas of immediate and future aspirational focus that DJAARA and partners could take to advance Indigenous Data governance in line with the CARE principles, for kangaroo grass data and information collected and generated through this project. Immediate recommendations included depositing to a secure trusted repository through which DJAARA can mediate access and re-use conditions, including applying biocultural and traditional knowledge labels to metadata.
This research was conducted under Federation University Ethics A21-147 and is the ICIP of Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation (DDWCAC).
