Authenticity and Ownership of Indigenous Cultural Content
Authenticity
We are providing a voice for Indigenous
people and giving our people an opportunity to provide authentic
resources for learning. This ensures children are learning about our
people from the source.
Indigenous people throughout the
country prepare the information and are responsible for the content that
is shared. Communities and individuals compile the dictionaries and
wherever possible, work with children to produce their own digital
dictionaries.
We feel that it's very important for
children to hear how the words sound, so this feature is one of the
highlights of the Online program. Language can be directly recorded, unaltered to produce dictionaries and digital talking books. This keeps integrity of the content
ensures language is not compromised or lost in translation.
Ownership of Content
Sharing Culture Pty Ltd is an Indigenous owned and operated Company and we know how important our culture and our intellectual property is. The communities and people supplying the language and content retain ownership of their IP at all times, it is very important that this remains with the community.
Sales
As our way of giving back to Indigenous
people and communities, we are donating a percentage of all profits
from Australian sales of Sharing Culture Online back to the people that
are sharing their culture with the members of Sharing Culture Online.
