Education, Project & Outreach

A common form of engagement is through sharing Cultural and Traditional teachings and experiences, from formal to informal gatherings, to workshops and presentations. Indigenous communities and Knowledge Holders are also invited to collaborate and cooperate on various social and government sector projects such as research and resource management because of the invaluable benefits that sharing Traditional Knowledge brings to society. Many communities are developing research agreements where respectful processes may be outlined and limitations of the research, as well as Indigenous Knowledge Property Rights policies. Ask the community cultural coordinator or Lands Department about these policies. You can also do advanced research on Indigenous Knowledge and cultural conservation through searching UNDRIP and related declarations.
