The Mexican Senate has unanimously approved a federal law aimed at protecting the cultural heritage of indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities—an attempt to fight cultural appropriation and plagiarism of native communities’ designs and other artistic expressions.
The law establishes penalties ranging from financial fines to prison for those who reproduce, copy, imitate or appropriate the cultural heritage of Mexican communities without proper authorization.
