| Description This session aims to illuminate the terrain of Indigenous intellectual property issues from multiple perspectives. In an increasingly En-globalized world, Indigenous knowledge, traditional cultural expressions, languages, and genetic resources are vulnerable to misappropriation, misuse, commercialization, and privatization. This session explores the approaches of anthropologists, tribal organization representatives, archaeologists, ethnomusicologists, heritage professionals, intellectual property lawyers, philosophers, policy-makers, and activists, in order to consider the numerous challenges and solutions related to Indigenous IP issues. Broadly, topics may include, among others: recent/current litigation; IP systems; IP instruments; IP management training programs; sui generis models; cultural tourism; cultural policymaking; Indigenous property systems, protocols, and customary law; digital recording, documentation, and publication; databases and archiving; access systems; Indigenous activism and community-based initiatives; bio-prospecting; prior informed consent, just compensation, and benefit-sharing; Indigenous arts and crafts; Indigenous rights; soft law, conventions, and non-legal instruments.
