Hi Everyone,
How is underrepresented knowledge on wikimedia projects addressed through new ways of contributions? Intangible cultural heritage of different tribes in Africa is one such knowledge facing underrepresentation on wikimedia projects. As indigenous people migrate to cities; face an aging population of cultural guardians and a strong tradition of oral storytelling, it is important to save the voices of knowledge at the brink of extinction.
See how https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PLcKx0IEGrBKnp455hFAxxv5AFNz5GeY?usp_dm=false the Wikimedia Foundation is supporting community efforts to digitize endangered igbo dances in Nigeria through the AID project https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Audiovisuals_of_Igbo_Dances_(AID)_Project.
Kind regards,

Dear Euphemia, This is a great addition to Wikimedia! Thanks for sharing! I wonder how you worked on the copyright of the audio files, as I can find it on Commons and I'm really interested on that. If you could share the process, it would be a great learning path.
Thanks

Dear Galder,
Thank you for the kind words. I am happy to provide additional information about the copyright status of the audio files.
We have an elicitation protocol for the recordings. This includes information about the nature of the recording, the date and time of recording, the full name of the voice artist, and other information such as location, etc.
Prior to each recording, we informed participants about the intended license (CC-BY-SA), and permissions were granted.
Attributions are also provided during uploads to Wikimedia Commons.
I hope this is helpful.
Best, Euphemia
