A Blockchain-Enabled Database for Sensitive Data Governance and OCAP Compliance

This research project aims to develop a secure and user-friendly database system for sensitive Indigenous data using blockchain technology. The project will explore how this innovative technology can enhance data security, privacy, and control for Indigenous Nations, while adhering to OCAP (ownership, control, access, possession) principles. The intern(s) will engage with stakeholders, assess the feasibility of various blockchain solutions, and design a tailored system that addresses the unique needs of Indigenous Nations. The outcome will benefit Living Lakes Canada by providing a trusted platform for data sharing, strengthening collaboration with Indigenous partners, and supporting informed decision-making in environmental and resource management across the Columbia Basin.
