Everyone who authored a text, was in a photo or video, helped with transcribing, or otherwise was involved in producing this archive was given the same explanation. Without exception all approved the use of these materials as follows:
• All archived materials can be located on the internet by anyone and obtained from there at nominal cost (cost of making CDs and DVDs). This includes the descendants of Wagu and Inalu people. This is the primary benefit that will accrue to them and the primary reason most contributors told their stories.
• In the unlikely event that a person or company would benefit financially from any materials, e.g. as examples in a textbook, then a small portion of the profit would be sent to the authors or their representatives or descendants as listed above.
• Nothing in the archive will portray them in a negative light as backward or ignorant or simple, but all individuals, their culture and language, will be viewed with normal human respect.
There are NO SPECIAL CONDITIONS. This archive includes no gender restricted material nor does it include other material on which there are viewing limits. Photos of deceased people are acceptable in this culture, and in fact are valued. |
