Abstract
This chapter introduces protocols and explains that while most First Nations communities share some commonalities, there is not one set of universal protocols that can be applied to all First Nations communities. Understanding appropriation, the need for respect and the value of listening can help non-Indigenous people to work with protocols, adapt to diversity, and collaborate with each unique and individual community with whom we collaborate.
