This #WorldIntellectualPropertyDay , we recognize the leadership of Native peoples who advocate for stronger protections for IP.

We must ensure Native peoples have a say in the development of international IP laws so Tribes can preserve their culture from appropriation & misuse.

Earlier this month, the Denver Post reported that Lingít tribal members have been requesting cultural items back from the Denver Art Museum in Colorado for years — to no avail. alaskapublic.org/2024/04/22/not…
