Indigenous Protocols (First Nations Principles of OCAP)

Recommended Ages

Best suited for older teens and adults exploring Indigenous data governance and research ethics

The First Nations Principles of OCAP—Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession—are guidelines developed by First Nations in Canada to govern how data about their communities is collected, used, and stored. For homeschool families, learning about OCAP offers a concrete way to discuss Indigenous sovereignty, research ethics, and why “nothing about us without us” matters in history and social studies. Parents and teens can explore OCAP resources to think critically about who owns stories, photos, and statistics. Many explanations and training overviews are available online, making it a free, high-value addition to units on Indigenous rights and critical thinking.

The First Nations Principles of OCAP are available to read as free online documents; separate OCAP training courses and workshops are offered for a fee.
