Cultural-respect anchors

Cross-cultural traditions credited as living, not historical artifacts

6 characters across 6 apps

Across the portfolio, certain characters serve as cultural-respect anchors — they explicitly credit Indigenous, traditional, and inherited knowledge traditions as LIVING ongoing practices, not historical artifacts. They surface the cultural-context-note rule from the trauma-informed-content guideline: honor traditions, partner with living holders, do not appropriate.
