In my area of the Okanagan, obviously, there's a real desire to maintain culture. For example, the Outma school on the Penticton Indian Band Reserve, has worked very hard to build traditional knowledge as part of the public curriculum. If a teacher decides to codify certain practices in a certain way, for example, making textbooks outlining language or outlining rituals, in an attempt to organize it, how then would that copyright?
Again, if he or she wants to take it to a Canadian publisher, the Canadian publisher is going to want to know who owns the content, so that when they publish it, if there are fair-dealing issues.... When someone takes the time to structure that traditional knowledge and language or culture in a specific way for teaching purposes, do they own the copyright for that, in order for them to help facilitate that their nation and their communities would be able to share that culture and traditional knowledge?
