Wikimedia Australia ICIP and IDSov
Wikimedia Australia has commenced a formal partnership with Terri Janke and Company (TJC), a leading Australian Indigenous-owned law firm and consultancy, specialising in Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) and Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDSov).
This partnership will provide Wikimedia Australia, its members, and partners with a clear framework for responsibly engaging with and supporting First Nations Peoples and communities. The Protocol will ensure that Wikimedia Australia’s work respects Indigenous knowledge systems and supports the rights of Indigenous Peoples to be centred in and control the use of their data and cultural heritage.
