CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
“TAKING, FROM A CULTURE THAT IS NOT ONE'S OWN,
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS AND ARTIFACTS, HISTORY AND WAYS OF KNOWLEDGE”
Lenore Keeshig-tobias, Chippewa
If I am taking something that is important to someone’s heritage, whether it’s a particular design or a particular set of stories or songs, my using those, my sharing those, my including those in some sort of commercial product, can result in cultural, or spiritual, or economic harm to the people whose heritage it is.
