Indigenous Nations, Governments, and Organizations face many of the same challenges as other orders of government and community-serving agencies. However, these are complicated by the ongoing impacts of colonization and lack of support for self-determination.
Not only do they require coordination with and reliance on other government and private partners, but they also face the additional challenge of ensuring their data is respectfully collected and stewarded in ways that support Indigenous sovereignty.
As a Certified Indigenous Business, RWI’s guiding principles ensure our synthetic tools provide Indigenous Rights Holders and Peoples with augmented intelligence and representative insights which adhere to alignment with the First Nations Principles of OCAP®: Ownership, Control, Access and Possession and the international CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance.
To align with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Rights Holders deserve data sovereignty and access to support their self-determination and to build equitable futures.
RWI Synthetics supplies the innovative data needed to see, solve, and operationalize sovereignty grounded in the values of respect, reciprocity, and understanding.
