ABSTRACT
This concluding chapter focuses on the future, detailing Indigenous Data Sovereignty activity, inter and intra nationally, to reduce data harm and support Indigenous data aspirations. These activities, at the global, nation state and Tribal and First Nation level, indicate the myriad of opportunities for embedding Indigenous Data Sovereignty, systemically, into Indigenous policy realms. The chapter also recognizes the ongoing significant challenges to generating systemic change. Genuine power sharing remains a barrier to the realization of effective Indigenous policy. But with most Indigenous data held by governments and private corporations and the rapid development of powerful digital and data surveillance technologies, the opportunity costs of not engaging are too high.
