Cultural integrity
Culture is not content. These rules govern everything published on NDICHE and ZHEEM.
This is a prototype policy
Consent first
No community, tribe or heritage content is published without documented custodian approval.
No invented heritage
We do not invent tribe facts, sacred meanings, origin stories, testimonials or partners.
Named attribution
Every cultural record names its source and the custodian who approved it.
Sacred material
Sensitive or sacred items and knowledge are listed only with written custodian permission.
Honest numbers
Ambition figures are labelled Vision Target. Pledged, funded, delivered and verified counts stay separate.
Clear demos
Invented placeholder content is labelled Demo listing, Sample profile or Placeholder.
Right of reply
Communities can correct, amend, restrict or withdraw anything published about them.
Takedown
Anyone can report content; disputed material is unpublished while it is reviewed.
Review states
Every cultural record carries a visible state: awaiting custodian review, custodian approved, restricted by custodian, or withdrawn. The state is shown wherever the record appears.
