Asking permission to take photos of Indigenous Peoples recognizes their humanity.
Experts predict that this summer travel season will be one of the busiest and most expensive ever. As an anthropologist, I'd argue that the money for travel is worth the experience of getting out of your comfort zone. And I'd also argue that taking pictures makes for great souvenirs if you're trying to keep your purchases to a minimum. But there are hidden costs to taking some of those great photos.I conduct research in Guatemala, a popular Central American destination for Americans.
Taking their picture without permission removes their agency over their own likeness. It also furthers their exploitation because the National Tourism Agency, INGUAT, has long exploited Indigenous women and children with their advertising materials without consent or compensation. Taking Indigenous women and children's photos and distributing them without their consent furthers that long history of abuse.
