# Cultural Sensitivity, Consent, and Representation in NFTs

* **Cultural Sensitivity:** Every NFT within the TatakJuan collection is created with a deep respect for the cultural significance and sacredness of the subjects it represents. We engage with cultural experts, historians, and community elders to ensure that our portrayals are accurate and sensitive to the cultural context and nuances.
* **Informed Consent:** Before digitizing any cultural artifact, story, or symbol, the TatakJuan project obtains informed consent from the community or individual custodians of that cultural element. This process involves transparent communication about the project's intentions, the use of cultural elements in NFTs, and the potential impacts on the community.
* **Accurate Representation:** The project commits to portraying Philippine culture in a manner that is true to its origins, avoiding stereotypes or oversimplifications. Representation in NFTs is carefully curated to celebrate the diversity and richness of the culture, highlighting lesser-known aspects to educate and enlighten the global community.
