Module 2 Post 3

Module 2 Blog 3

For my third post for module 2, I wanted to take a step back to review and reflect on the materials I have compiled. I am again confronted with the question: am I allowed to do this? Am I appropriating? I wanted some more foundational information for my own knowledge but also so I could share this experience with my students. I found Metcalfe helpful: Native Appropriations:  Why Representations Matter – BioneersNative Appropriations:  Why Representations Matter – Bioneers I also found Metcalfe inspiring because her whole project began as a blog, exactly what we are doing now 🙂

I felt I needed some more guidance on this matter, so I watched this presentation by Dr. George Nicholas:

His international project about Indigeneity, Cultural Property and Intangible Heritage seeks to ensure knowledge is shared in meaningful and appropriate ways.

Neither of these speakers, however, provide a definitive answer of who can say what to whom and where. This continued exploration will be explored in my next blog post.
