Publication Library
BC RIGC creates publications grounded in real governance contexts and are intended to support Nations implementing data governance systems. They also contribute to broader conversations about Indigenous data sovereignty, digital infrastructure, and Nation rebuilding.
Featured Pieces
Valuation Tool
First Nations often need to seek compensation and recognition for losses in value, and for infringements on rights and title, resulting from Crown actions and decisions. The Valuation Tool consolidates practical guidance on compensation valuation to support informed, confident, Nation-led decision-making on valuation approaches.
The Guide includes context on the policy and legal landscape, background on value and valuation, a methodology guide, and hypothetical scenarios. This Guide overview highlights the steps a Nation would take to start and carry out valuation work.
Data Quality Guide
For First Nations people, data are a powerful tool that helps tell our stories in a meaningful way. Data quality refers to how “fit for use” data are – in other words, can you trust the information to be accurate, useful, and timely for your needs? Strong, high-quality data build confidence, support advocacy, improve program delivery and planning, and inform decision making to ensure resources are directed where they will have the greatest impact.
K5T and the BC RIGC collaborated to create a Data Quality Guide for other Nations to use when considering data collection.
