A Quick Checklist for Purchasing Cultural Resources

Bringing cultural resources into your space is a beautiful way to celebrate diversity, foster understanding, and honour traditions — but it must be done with care and respect.

Here are key questions to ask before making a purchase:

✅Who created this resource?
✅Is it designed by people from the culture it represents, or for them without true connection?
✅Who is profiting?
✅Does the community benefit from the sales, or are others profiting from their stories and symbols?
✅Is this resource authentic?
✅Are the designs, symbols, or stories being represented accurately and respectfully?
✅Is there cultural permission?
✅Has the creator been given the right to share these stories, art, or practices?
✅Is it supporting empowerment?
✅Does purchasing this resource help sustain, empower, or give back to the community it represents?

Cultural representation is more than just aesthetics — it is about respect, responsibility, and relationships.
Choose resources that are meaningful, ethical, and authentic.
