Warning: Protect Our Creativity and Intellectual Property!
We are at risk of losing our creativity and intellectual property to neighboring towns. If this continues, a day may come when we’ll be forced to depend on them to use products that are rightfully ours.
Let’s take action now:
Safeguard our traditional knowledge and innovations
Promote and protect Indigenous crafts
Value and nurture our creative potential
Together, we can ensure our identity and resources remain ours to cherish and grow.
