First Nations Speaker Series: Terri Janke
Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) encompasses the rights of First Nations peoples over their cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible. Researchers and industry professionals must respect these rights and integrate Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property Protocols into their practices. This consideration spans various sectors, including arts, archaeology, cultural heritage, languages, and collections.
Dr Terri Janke will explain what ICIP entails, detail the True Tracks® principles, and discuss her work establishing best practices in this area.
