Protectng Traditional Knowledge

The role of a media liaison person at an event traditional in nature can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. It involves balancing the organization's need to promote its key messages while ensuring a reporter understands that not all traditional knowledge is meant for public consumption.

To better ensure the media we engage are sensitive to traditional practices and protocols, NAHO has developed guidelines for Interviewing Elders. Copies of these guidelines will be available (in English and French) at the Gegenoatatoltimg: Sharing the Knowledge gathering.
