About this listen

In this episode of The It Depends Podcast, Tenille Moselen speaks with Dr. Skye Trudgett, a proud First Nations woman and CEO of Kowa, about putting Indigenous data sovereignty into practice.

Skye shares her path from aspiring sleep scientist to leading national work in evaluation, research, and community-led data governance. This episode demystifies and unpacks what Indigenous data sovereignty really means (“caring for data so data can care for Country and community”), common misconceptions, and the small but powerful changes that we can all be implementing that can shift systems.

We're not going to summarise it all here for you - this is an episode to check-out for yourself! After you've listened, we'd recommend you check out the resources and links below to learn more.
