Cultural Protocol

Conclusion

Following Indigenous protocols for the creation of media stories will produce accurate, respectful work. Just as there is no universal "Indigenous opinion" on issues, there are no "universal protocols or rules" which apply to all countries or area, Indigenous individuals, families, clans or communities or media projects. But there are general ground rules which can be used to locate the proper ways for the area, the people and the project.

"It's about making sure that the community respects how you go about it." [23]
