Promote and support the utilization of local indigenous languages and, where no written languages exist, employ local indigenous people (as translators/interpreters as well as advisers) to assist in the collection process
Assure and support the full participation of indigenous peoples as equal partners in all stages of data collection, including planning, implementation, analysis and dissemination, access and return, with the appropriate resourcing and capacity-building for achieving this objective. Data collection must respond to the priorities and aims of the indigenous communities themselves
