Community Knowledge and Consent Map

Traditional knowledge has holders, and recording it without asking properly is a live ethical problem rather than a theoretical one.

This sheet takes it seriously. Who holds it, who benefits if it is published, who should be asked, and what happens if the answer is no.

The page has the mapping frame, a consent framework, and a scenario set with genuinely difficult cases. It also introduces the idea that knowledge shared for one purpose has not been shared for all purposes, which is a distinction students grasp quickly and adults frequently do not.
