This website provides practical guidelines for respectful engagement with Indigenous Peoples. It is designed to help Indigenous artists protect their work, to educate non-Indigenous individuals and organizations about respectful engagement and collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, and to provide tools that can be used to advocate for stronger legislative change.

The document, Indigenous Protocols for the Visual Arts, provides information about legal, ethical, and moral considerations for working with Indigenous Peoples and cultural materials. This website also includes podcast interviews and links to organizations and other resources. The aim is for this to be a hub of information that will be continually updated.

Indigenous Protocols for the Visual Arts and the information hosted on this website are neither a checklist of Protocols or a definitive guide to Indigenous Protocols. There are no universal rules for engaging with Indigenous Peoples, communities and Nations. Rather it is a starting point for discussions and interactions.

This resource does not replace engagement with Indigenous Peoples. Anyone who requires specific advice on Protocols from a particular Nation or community should speak to people in authority or engage an Indigenous consultant with relevant knowledge and experience to help guide the conversation.
