OCAP Principles for AI and Data SystemsOperationalize Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession in every workflow

We translate OCAP principles into enforceable policy and technical architecture so AI programs support tribal sovereignty instead of eroding it.

Define legal and operational ownership terms for all tribal datasets and model outputs.

Set approval and oversight workflows for data processing, AI access, and vendor operations.

Implement access policy by role, function, and sensitivity across systems and records.

Keep records in tribal-controlled environments through on-prem and sovereign hosting controls.
