Discussion Paper: First Nations' culture in the metaverse

The DLA understands that cultural brokers and co-authors of this Discussion Paper, Dr Vanessa Lee-Ah Mat of the Yupungathi and Meriam Nations and Bibi Barba of the Darumbal – Biri Gubi – Gadigal – Yuin Nations, are in the process of operationalising an independent pilot project seeking to create a First Nations cultural embassy in the metaverse and are setting up an entity with First Nations ownership and governance to run the operations of the pilot project.

The DLA is not involved in their efforts to operationalise the cultural embassy concept and model, nor will the DLA accept donations of fiat currency or digital assets including virtual land. The DLA will have no oversight or governance role in the operationalisation of any cultural embassy pilot project. You are responsible for seeking your own independent professional legal advice before donating to any project that may arise as a result of the concepts discussed in this Discussion Paper.
