"Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights"
First Nations Development Institute's 12th Oweesta Conference
Honolulu, Hawai'i
May 9, 2002
ABSTRACT: Globalization is a two-edged sword. It can bring tremendous
opportunity and interaction between peoples from around the world. it
can also bring tremendous exploitation of what makes each tribe unique:
their knowledge, their culture and art, their very identity. Learn more
about how Indigenous peoples around the world are confronting the legal
and cultural traditions of the international system, a system that historically
has paid little regard to ancient custom but is now being asked to protect
it.
Panel members: Linda Delaney, Hawai'i (Cultural Heritage and Repatriation);
David Stephenson, Colorado (Commercial Law); and Kelly Bannister, Victoria
(Community Protocols) with Jo Render, Washington, D.C. (Chair).
