Abstract

Clans’ at.óow (our property) includes crests, names, stories, and songs, often incorporated into arts and crafts traditions. Historically, the use of at.óow without permission was deemed a capital offense and traditional law allowed clans to punish people who used at.óow without following correct protocol. With the coming of Western laws, clans were left without a mechanism to protect cultural ownership of their at.óow. Cultural heritage researcher Jacob Adams will summarize his experiences and new knowledge, put it into the context of his research framework, and articulate possible intellectual property solutions to the threats faced by Alaskan Native cultural heritage.
