Indigenous cultures the world round have seen their ritual ceremonies, music, symbols and creative arts imitated, reworked, copied and sold without acknowledgement or authorization, and often without respect for their cultural and religious significance. Many communities feel that enough is enough. They are now actively exploring how best to protect their heritage from the “free for all” while at the same time preserving it for future generations.
