Notices have been used around the world on a range of collections and data. An institution might be an archive, library, museum, historical society, gallery, data repository, university, or media production company. Indigenous institutions can use Notices, but may find the Labels to be a better fit.

In some parts of Asia and Africa, state governments use the term \u201cethnic groups\u201d or \u201cethnic minorities,\u201d while these groups themselves identify as Indigenous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, our use of \u201ccommunity\u201d also includes local\/traditional communities who are self-governing collectives with intergenerational connections to places, knowledge, and worldviews. Though often referred to together as Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), we recognize that Indigenous Peoples hold distinct collective rights defined in UNDRIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">References:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/development\/desa\/indigenouspeoples\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/11\/UNDRIP_E_web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples\u201d<\/a> (2007)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cultural Survival and First Peoples Worldwide, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colorado.edu\/program\/fpw\/2022\/10\/26\/statement-towards-discontinuing-use-collective-term-indigenous-peoples-and-local\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cStatement towards Discontinuing the Use of the Collective Term \u2018Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities\u2019 or \u2018IPLC\u2019\u201d<\/a> (2022)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>United Nation Department of Economic and Social Affairs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/esa\/socdev\/unpfii\/documents\/SOWIP\/en\/SOWIP_web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cState of the World\u2019s Indigenous Peoples\u201d<\/a> (2009)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/details>\n \n\n\n<details class=\"hideable-content question-and-answer alignnone change-color-on-open\">\n  <summary class=\"hideable-content__summary\" tabindex=\"0\">\n    <div class=\"hideable-content__summary__content\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n      <h3 class=\"hideable-content__summary__content__heading\">How can the Local Contexts tools benefit our community?<\/h3>\n      <svg class=\"hideable-content__summary__content__plus-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M12 0c-6.627 0-12 5.373-12 12s5.373 12 12 12 12-5.373 12-12-5.373-12-12-12zm6 13h-5v5h-2v-5h-5v-2h5v-5h2v5h5v2z\"\/><\/svg>\n      <svg class=\"hideable-content__summary__content__minus-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M12 0c-6.627 0-12 5.373-12 12s5.373 12 12 12 12-5.373 12-12-5.373-12-12-12zm6 13h-12v-2h12v2z\"\/><\/svg>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/summary>\n  <div class=\"hideable-content__content\">\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Local Contexts tools work together to support the proper recognition of Indigenous rights and interests in traditional knowledge and biocultural data.

A community account can customize Labels, create Projects, and apply Labels on Projects. A community account may receive notifications about Notices that institutions or researchers have placed to disclose a community interest in collections, items, samples, or data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An <strong>institution account<\/strong> is for a cultural or research institution, such as archive, library, museum, historical society, gallery, data repository, or university, that is generating or stewarding Indigenous collections or data. An institution account can create Projects, apply Notices and notify Indigenous communities about these Projects. Multiple staff members can join an institution account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>researcher account<\/strong> is for individual researchers. Like an institution account, researchers can also create Projects, apply Notices, and notify Indigenous communities about these Projects. Every researcher account is only for one person, while an institution account is for multiple staff members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An <strong>integration partner<\/strong> account is for an organization that integrates a connection to the Local Contexts API into their platforms to enable other account types to access their Labels and Notices. This account is responsible for building the integration into their system used by clients, customers, or contributors. An integration partner account can utilize the Engagement Notice only, and cannot create Projects, notify communities, or apply any of the Disclosure Notices.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/details>\n \n\n\n<details class=\"hideable-content question-and-answer alignnone change-color-on-open\">\n  <summary class=\"hideable-content__summary\" tabindex=\"0\">\n    <div class=\"hideable-content__summary__content\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n      <h3 class=\"hideable-content__summary__content__heading\">How can I tell if my community or institution is already on the Hub?<\/h3>\n      <svg class=\"hideable-content__summary__content__plus-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M12 0c-6.627 0-12 5.373-12 12s5.373 12 12 12 12-5.373 12-12-5.373-12-12-12zm6 13h-5v5h-2v-5h-5v-2h5v-5h2v5h5v2z\"\/><\/svg>\n      <svg class=\"hideable-content__summary__content__minus-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M12 0c-6.627 0-12 5.373-12 12s5.373 12 12 12 12-5.373 12-12-5.373-12-12-12zm6 13h-12v-2h12v2z\"\/><\/svg>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/summary>\n  <div class=\"hideable-content__content\">\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the registration process, you can search existing community and institution accounts.
