A/HRC/30/53 distributed equally. This is certainly not an isolated situation. It is essential that benefitsharing mechanisms be established in cases of tourism development on indigenous territories. 61. Misappropriation of the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples by the tourism industry is another issue. For example, the Saami costume, a symbol of the cultural heritage of the Saami people, is misused in many ways by the tourism industry in Finland. Gift shops often sell handicrafts with Saami designs that are not produced by indigenous crafters or use traditional Saami styles and colours in products that are in no way related to Saami culture. Imitations of the Saami costume are also often misused in tourism as employees’ uniforms.31 Such misappropriation of indigenous peoples’ cultural heritage by the tourism industry has detrimental effects on their identity and self-image. It is important that States monitor the tourism industry to ensure the protection of the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples. D. Sports and traditional games 62. Sports and traditional games have been recognized as integral parts of the rights of indigenous peoples to maintain, control, protect and develop their cultural heritage, traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions, as affirmed in article 31 of the Declaration. This right to sports and traditional games has been explicitly recognized by the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, in the report on its fourth session (E/2005/43). 63. The benefits and value of sports and traditional games, which are also alluded to in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, are an important component in ensuring that indigenous peoples are able to freely determine and pursue their cultural development as part of their right to self-determination, as set out in articles 3 and 5 of the Declaration. 64. The Mato Grosso Declaration, adopted at the Second International Sports Congress held in Cuiabá, Brazil, from 9 to 16 November 2013, called on States and governments to join indigenous peoples in partnership and mutual respect in implementing their right to self-determination through sports and traditional games as well as the manifestations of their traditional knowledge and cultural expressions (A/HRC/EMRIP/2014/CRP.2, annex, para. 2). VI. Cultural appropriation, restitution and repatriation A. Cultural misappropriation and interpretation 65. Many indigenous peoples are affected by the misappropriation of their cultural heritage, which may take many forms, including commodification, the use of indigenous peoples’ imagery and symbols in marketing, and the misappropriation of traditional songs. A recent settlement included the requirement to recognize the indigenous composer of the Maori haka (tribal war dance) whenever it is used in public or commercial situations. 32 66. Cultural misinterpretation is another issue that negatively impacts the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples. This occurs when visitor centres, interpretive signage, 31 32 16 See the submission from the Saami Parliamentary Council of Finland; and the presentation by Piia Nuorgam, Expert Seminar on Indigenous Peoples’ Rights with Respect to their Cultural Heritage, 2015.
