different kinds of traditions and culture of indigenous people

Museums, libraries, archives and other cultural institutions play an invaluable role in preserving and providing access to their collections, an endeavor that can raise a number of intellectual property (IP) issues, especially in a digital environment. Handling collections of elements of cultural heritage, or “traditional cultural expressions” (TCEs) often brings about specific and even more complex IP issues.

Indigenous peoples and traditional communities have expressed concerns that the very process of preserving TCEs, like documenting and displaying, for example, a traditional song or tribal symbol can open the door to misuse or misappropriation.

Answer:

Indigenous peoples practice diverse spiritual traditions in Ontario,[487] reflecting the diversity of Indigenous peoples in Ontario and Canada.[488] This section addresses the duty to accommodate Indigenous spiritual beliefs and practices in areas covered by the Code.[489]

“Indigenous peoples have the right to promote, develop and maintain their institutional structures and their distinctive customs, spirituality, traditions, procedures, practices and, in the cases where they exist, juridical systems or customs, in accordance with international human rights standards.” – United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples[490]

This policy uses “Indigenous”[491] as an inclusive term to encompass all Indigenous peoples and identities, including status, non-status, Indian, Aboriginal, Native, First Nation, Métis and Inuit.

What is Indigenous Spirituality?

The OHRC does not define "Indigenous Spirituality" in recognition of its diversity and Indigenous peoples’ right to define and determine this for themselves.[492] Other terms may be used or preferred by Indigenous peoples, including those that are more specific to a Nation, language, place and/or people.

The Inuktitut word “Upirusutuk” is used among Inuit people to mean “having faith.”
