Corpus definition
Recognize Indigenous authority concerning cultural objects, human remains, genetic resources, traditional knowledge, and cultural expression.
This is the atlas’s definition, not a substitute for a tradition’s own interpretation. Scope, exceptions and translations require review of each source.
Preserved calculation difference
The original index differs from recomputed unique-system or specific-anchor counts. Both are retained; the source file is unchanged.
