Traditional Knowledge Labels

A section of this Open textbook- 1.6 Enhancing Wellbeing includes Traditional Knowledge. Please refer to the Local Contexts webpage to learn more about Traditional Knowledge Labels. The two labels applied in this resource are:

TK Creative (TK CR) – This Label should be used when an individual artist or author would like to clearly connect creative practices with traditional knowledge deriving from their own community. While an individual artist or author has standard copyright and creative commons licenses available to use, this Label helps make clear that a creative practice is also deeply connected to a collective responsibility around the use and sharing of traditional knowledge.

TK Verified (TK V) – This Label should be used when you and your community are satisfied with the way in which your traditional knowledge materials are being represented online or offline. This Label affirms that appropriate conditions for access and use are in place and that whoever has made this material accessible has made accommodations for cultural protocols associated with the knowledge. It lets users know that the right thing is being done by your community protocols and standards.
