When First Nations communities share their knowledge and culture, including language, this is their Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP). This can happen at many points in a community’s truth-telling process, including casual conversation, formal consultations, or during a truth-telling initiative or event.

It is important to understand what ICIP rights are so you can uphold and protect them for yourself and your community, for the First Nations communities that you engage with and for future generations.

These resources were developed by Reconciliation Australia and Terri Janke and Company Lawyers and Consultants. Start with the short fact sheet and delve into the guide for more information.

While truth-telling should always be led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, non-Indigenous people have an important part to play.

This guide answers common questions about how non-Indigenous people can best support truth‑tellers to deliver their knowledge and experiences in whatever way is helpful to them and their truth‑telling aspirations. Questions such as:

  • What are appropriate and respectful ways to be involved?
  • When should you step up or step back?
  • How can you turn truth-telling into meaningful action?
