Description

Overview:

It's important to consider and follow protocols when engaging or interacting with Indigenous Peoples. Protocols go beyond manners or rules and involves respecting traditional ways of being. Protocols include prescribed behaviours on how to respectively interact with Indigenous Peoples, responsibly use Traditional Knowledge, and ethically conduct research involving Indigenous Peoples and their Land. Take note that protocols are unique and vary between Indigenous cultures and communities.

Before engaging with an Indigenous person, it is important to learn about their culture and the appropriate protocols for the situation. Observing and following protocols not only shows respect and acknowledgement for the value of Indigenous peoples and their culture, but also represent an important gesture towards reconciliation.
