Summary
Misappropriation of Indigenous knowledge is a pressing issue, particularly concerning Ayahuasca practices among Latin Americans. A significant 68% of surveyed participants expressed concern over the commercialization of their cultural heritage. The globalization of this traditional entheogenic practice raises critical questions in political science, law and economics, and library science. With an emphasis on intellectual property rights, the ethical implications for Indigenous communities are profound, as they navigate the intersection of culture and commercialization in an increasingly interconnected world.
