N1 - The International Indigenous Design Charter can be used to help facilitate accurate and respectful representation of Indigenous knowledge in all disciplines of design and associated media. The role of the Charter is to assist design practitioners, design clients and the buyers of design including governments, corporations, businesses and not-for-profit organisations with guidelines to encourage best practice processes. The positioning of designers and the buyers of design within the context of the charter discussion is important as all stakeholders (client, designer, cultural custodian) need to be clear on the sensibilities and processes involved in respectful cultural design practice. The Charter reinforces the rights of Indigenous peoples to cultural self-determination as recognised by the United Nations in their Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The International Indigenous Design Charter has the support of the International Council of Design (ico-D). The cultural protocols included in this Charter recognise the diverse cultures and traditions of international Indigenous communities worldwide and suggests that appropriate representation of Indigenous peoples is best achieved when effective and respectful partnerships are established between relevant stakeholders. The guidelines are innovative as they are the only ones in existence globally in the design space.
