Cultural Property and Indigenous Knowledge in the Digital Era

The digital world has made it easier than ever to share stories, histories, languages, and creative works.

Who holds the right to share, interpret, or benefit from traditional knowledge? And how should governments and platforms respond when digital systems collide with cultural sovereignty?
