Data Sovereignty

Ieramugadu Data Sovereignty Project

Roebourne is a community rich in cultural traditions and resilience, yet faces challenges like housing, health issues and social challenges.

The Ieramugadu Data Sovereignty Project is a historic opportunity to empower Roebourne’s community. Through local data ownership, NYFL aims to foster sustainable growth and preserve cultural identity for future generations.
