The McGill Digital Research Services Hub, within the Office of VPRI, invites all McGill researchers to a webinar on “The First Nations Principles of OCAP®”, presented by Ms. Melissa Dane, Research Officer from the First Nations Information Governance Centre (FNIGC). The First Nations principles of OCAP® offer a framework for how First Nations’ data and information should be collected, protected, used, and shared. Standing for ownership, control, access, and possession, OCAP® is a tool to support strong information governance on the path to First Nations data sovereignty. Using historical and current research and data management issues, this presentation will explore the First Nations principles of OCAP® and First Nations data sovereignty and discuss the importance of each.
