摘要

This is an investigation of Indigenous data at a localised level from the Pilbara community where this work was carried out. Most of this data is about culture and language, specific to the people of this region. The aim is to understand Yinhamah, the process of passing on of our grandmothers’ knowledge and how it can be supported in ongoing location-based collections. Qualitative data was obtained through interview and survey from Yinhawangka language speakers and other Pilbara women and men to support the sharing of women’s knowledge. This knowledge is being stored on an online map which is private to the researchers, as we collect the overarching stories. The data contains many distinct layers that can be used to collate or compare stories. This paper presents practical examples of Indigenous Data Aggregation for knowledge gathering and data sovereignty. Through augmenting this historical data with further field trips, we describe the way that this knowledge is passed on and how this might be supported in Digital Libraries. The framework of Yinhamah is an example of our sovereignty over country through data augmentation. While the first interface for the data is location based, other aggregations can be shown such as on an image of a storyline. Researching Indigenous knowledge in place enables us to both more clearly define a framework of the data, and its interconnections, but also to propose how to display these links in suitable digital interfaces. However, this ability to access and record knowledge is being undermined by other regulatory bodies controlling our access to country.
