Guiding Principles

--------------------------------

1. Respect

As the only social media platform that puts indigenous rights first, SIKU is a safe space for sharing and mobilizing indigenous knowledge.

2. Self-Determination

SIKU helps document the data that has always constituted the basis of indigenous knowledge and uses it for community-based monitoring, guardianship programs, and self-determination in research, education, and environmental management.

3. Intellectual Property

No one can use your data without permission. Intellectual property is maintained through an informed data management framework.

4. Integrity

The terms of use require the use of real names and real data - this is crucial for safe travel, knowledge transfer, language, and cultural preservation.
