I would say that the current Copyright Act does not afford indigenous people protection for their copyright material. Part of it is the way in which those materials are produced.
We have just spent a significant amount of time putting together an indigenous strategy. I'll give one example. During that strategy, it was apparent that a written document would not tell the story we were trying to create. We wanted to use indigenous symbols to tell the story. Of course, one of the issues is whether or not you are absconding with cultural property if you use those symbols. We spent considerable time with the community. One of our Kainai elders gifted us a series of symbols that we could use, and helped put those symbols together so that an indigenous community could pick up our document and essentially read it in their language without having to read the written word.
