There are several concerns I hold regarding how culture is documented on the internet.
When you look up a culture or tribe, often times if it is a lesser documented one, many sources appear that are unrelated, but are not marked as such. This can be the fault of the platform’s (most likely social media organization, or a user or reuploader.
A recent issue that is extremely concerning is the amount of AI generated images of indigenous people. These generated images tamper with the validity of non-ai photos, and make it harder for people to discern a characteristic of a culture to another. Effectively warping and generalizing a culture, because these generated images use photos from countless cultures to poorly represent a specific one.
—- There is also another occurrence with “stock photos” of indigenous people with a large watermark on top. It is unclear if these photos were truly given to these sites by the original photographers, or alike to other incidents: reuploaded without permission.
People of indigenous decent or of decent of lesser known cultures should be able to research their and connect with their culture with ease.
There are some sites created with anecdotal information of those involved in the culture, but these are few and far between and are often pushed back in search results by larger sites that do not tend to label these photos properly.
Let’s try to find ways to make the internet a better organized library, for the sake culture and humanity.

I’ve set it up on my (DeviantArt) account for this one to be a (non-commercial) stock photo for 100 points.
You never realize how much ftu art of rooms have a ridiculous amount of windows until you're specifically looking for ones without open windows
Anyway, time to edit stock photos to put blinds over a bunch of windows!
