A topic that has been in the media recently is that of cultural appropriation. A lot of people don't understand what it is, or how it is being done. Or if they understand it a little bit, they don't understand why its a big deal. Here is a link to a pfd guide that will go through all your questions about cultural appropriation. It has been created by the Intellectual Property Issues in Cultural Heritage (IPinCH) project based in Simon Fraser University (link to IPinCH in Check These Out Section).

The guide is designed for creators and designers, but can be a useful source of information for anyone.
