Download or read book Claiming Back Their Heritage written by Geneviève Susemihl and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-05 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a unique, in-depth look at three Indigenous World Heritage sites in Canada and their use for Indigenous empowerment and community development. Based on extensive ethnographic field studies and comprehensive narrative interviews, it shows how the three First Nation communities presented in the case studies enforce recognition of their collective rights to preserve their cultural heritage and assert their right to political, economic, cultural, and social self-determination. It also considers the prevailing universalistic discourses around World Heritage and the various ways in which they serve to either reinforce existing oppressive conditions regarding Indigenous communities and voices or provide opportunities to overcome them. The book will be of interest to scholars and students working on social and cultural histories, histories of colonialism, and in heritage and museum studies.
Download or read book Heritage Planning written by Harold Kalman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heritage Planning: Principles and Process provides a comprehensive overview of heritage planning as an area of professional practice. The book first addresses the context and principles of heritage planning, including land-use law, planning practice, and international heritage doctrine, all set within the framework of larger societal issues such as sustainability and ethics. The book then takes readers through the pragmatic processes of heritage practice including collecting data, identifying community opinion, determining heritage significance, the best practices and methods of creating a conservation plan, and managing change. Heritage Planning recognizes changing approaches to heritage conservation, particularly the shift from the conservation of physical fabric to the present emphasis on retaining values, associations and stories that historic places hold for their communities. The transition has affected the practice of heritage planning and is important for those in the field. It is essential reading for both professionals that manage change within the built environment and students of heritage conservation and historic preservation.
Download or read book Oral History and Public Memories written by Paula Hamilton and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oral history is inherently about memory, and when oral history interviews are used "in public," they invariably both reflect and shape public memories of the past. Oral History and Public Memories is the only book that explores this relationship, in fourteen case studies of oral history's use in a variety of venues and media around the world. Readers will learn, for example, of oral history based efforts to reclaim community memory in post-apartheid Cape Town, South Africa; of the role of personal testimony in changing public understanding of Japanese American history in the American West; of oral history's value in mapping heritage sites important to Australia's Aboriginal population; and of the way an oral history project with homeless people in Cleveland, Ohio became a tool for popular education. Taken together, these original essays link the well established practice of oral history to the burgeoning field of memory studies.

Download or read book Provenance and Early Cinema written by Joanne Bernardi and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remnants of early films often have a story to tell. As material artifacts, these film fragments are central to cinema history, perhaps more than ever in our digital age of easy copying and sharing. If a digital copy is previewed before preservation or is shared with a researcher outside the purview of a film archive, knowledge about how the artifact was collected, circulated, and repurposed threatens to become obscured. When the question of origin is overlooked, the story can be lost. Concerned contributors in Provenance and Early Cinema challenge scholars digging through film archives to ask, "How did these moving images get here for me to see them?" This volume, which features the conference proceedings from Domitor, the International Society for the Study of Early Cinema, 2018, questions preservation, attribution, and patterns of reuse in order to explore singular artifacts with long and circuitous lives.
Download or read book Northern Ethnographic Landscapes written by Igor Krupnik and published by Alaska Smithsonian Institute Arctic. This book was released on 2004 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many northern nations have long-established policies for the documentation and protection of historical monuments, archaeological sites, old churches and cemeteries, and other historic sites on the landscape. Little is known, however, about the knowledge, memory, and historical value of the landscape in northern indigenous cultures, and even less has been done to build the legal and policy foundation to preserve this heritage for future generations. Northern Ethnographic Landscapes reviews current progress in this field across the circumpolar nations of Canada, the U.S. (Alaska), northern Russia, Norway, and Iceland. Contributors to this pioneering volume address the role of traditional subsistence activities, memory, rituals and sacred sites, place names, oral tradition, and personal stories that keep northern communities attached to their native lands. Featuring over 120 photographs from across the Arctic, this volume will appeal to residents of the North, professionals in heritage and landscape preservation, and scholars and students in Native studies, archaeology, oral history, and cultural anthropology.

Download or read book Han People of the River written by Craig Mishler and published by Fairbanks : University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The upper Yukon River basin is one of the wildest, most beautiful, and coldest places on earth. The indigenous Han Indians, whose homeland straddles the U.S.-Canadian border, traveled this country as hunters and gatherers and found a way to survive in it that exemplifies their intelligence and tenacity. For Craig Mishler and Bill Simeone, the Han are not only an ethnic and linguistic group but a living community of individuals, and the authors write about them as people who spoke to them and touched them in a special way. The history of the upper Yukon valley from the earliest Western contact with the Han in the 1840s has been one of continuous change. As a result of the gold rush, the Han suddenly became homeless in their own homeland. This book tells the story of the displacement and of current efforts by the Han to reclaim their lands and restore a vibrant way of life. In-depth profiles of Chief Isaac, Chief Charley, and others illustrate the critical importance of traditional leadership instressful times. Mishler and Simeone have carefully researched and compiled new information from historic records, adding their own, firsthand field observations and oral interviews with elders during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. They present detailed historical data on the fur trade, missionization, and the gold rush, as well as an analysis of Han social structure, settlement patterns, religion, subsistence, and expressive culture. The final chapter illustrates contemporary life in Eagle Village with two vivid "ethnographic snapshots"--a Christmas eve dance in 1972 and a long summer day in 1997. Appendices include a methodological essay, a historic chronology, rules for Han card games, andgenealogies for many Han families. As a model of innovative ethnographic and ethnohistorical w
