When First Nations communities share their knowledge and culture, including language, this is their Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP). This can happen at many points in a community’s truth-telling process, including casual conversation, formal consultations, or during a truth-telling initiative or event.
It is important to understand what ICIP rights are so you can uphold and protect them for yourself and your community, for the First Nations communities that you engage with and for future generations.
