Tribal Protocols.

The Nation's own protocols, in its own words, shown on the records they govern.
An early version, being shaped with the Tribal offices who will use it.

What it keeps
01
The Nation's words, not ours.

Each protocol has its name in the Nation's language and in English, and the wording the Nation chooses. ECO supplies no names, no texts and no symbols.

02
Where it comes from.

A protocol can carry a note on who holds authority over it, the council resolution behind it, and a date to review it.

03
The Nation's own symbol.

The office can upload a symbol for a protocol. It appears wherever the protocol is shown.

Who sees what
04
Members read.

Members see a protocol's name and wording. Only the Nation's administrators write or change one.

05
Shown on the record.

A protocol appears as a notice on collection items, oral histories, Atlas places and visitor pass cards.

06
Rules the office can set.

Months in season. A reminder to read and acknowledge before a collection item opens. Keeping an item out of the catalog export. Holding an item under the protocol. Who may open what is kept under it.

Who holds authority
07
The Nation names its own categories.

Oral histories, ceremonial recordings, language, land and water memory, or any other kind of knowledge the Nation holds. The Nation names the categories. None are set in advance.

08
Each category has named keepers.

For each category the Nation names the people who hold authority over it: an elder council, a language keeper, a family. They are members of the Nation's own network.

09
One may decide, or all must agree.

The Nation chooses for each category whether any one keeper may grant or withdraw access, or whether every keeper must agree first. Each decision is recorded inside the Nation's network.

How to use it

Add a protocol
The administrator chooses Add a protocol and enters the name in the Nation's language, the wording, and the resolution behind it.
Add your symbol
Open the protocol and choose Add your symbol.
Show it on a record
Open the protocol and choose the collection items, oral histories or places it applies to.
Set what it asks
Choose the months in season, whether members acknowledge it first, and whether its items stay out of the catalog export.
Set who may open
Under Who may open what is kept under this protocol, choose any rules that apply. These are access rules, and the page says what each one does.
What stays in the Nation's hands
Part of every tribal network
Protocols come with the network. A Nation that does not want them can have them turned off.
No vocabulary of ours
There is no built-in list of protocol names or labels. Each Nation enters its own.
A reminder is a reminder
Acknowledge first asks a member to read the protocol and keeps a record. It is not a lock.
Link, not copy
A Nation with a Local Contexts Hub project can link to it. Nothing from the Hub is copied.
