DescriptionCall of the Earth is an independant, indigenous controlled initiative on intellectual property rights hosted by the United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies. Call of the Earth aims to enable indigenous people to reframe the debate on intellectual property rights and traditional knowledge through our own indigenous perspectives from within our own cultures. In so doing, we aim to develop responses at local, national and international levels to all policy and legal developments that adversely impact on our tradition of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations. Call of the Earth is governed by a Steering Committee of 8 indigneous experts serving in their individual capacity.
