The Saskatchewan Craft Council encourages creative freedom and respectful collaboration. CARFAC has outlined the principles of responsible creative collaboration with Indigenous and other cultures:

1. Free prior and informed consent;

2. Shared control over process and product;

3. Acknowledgement and attribution;

4. Respect for cultural differences; and

5. Reciprocity and benefit sharing.

It is expected that all exhibition applications meet these standards in the creation of the artwork. More information on CARFAC’s appropriation guide can be found here.
