What could World Heritage listing deliver for Indigenous people? The Australian experience in global context.

这个项目调查了世界遗产系统对土著人民的意图和它实际提供的东西之间的差异。尽管联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）的目标是扩大世界遗产项目的非西方维度，但几乎没有关于这个问题的研究。这项研究将开发结合西方和土著知识的创新方法，大大提高土著对世界遗产的认识。其结果将是一个基于证据的模式，更好地协调教科文组织的普遍性方法与土著社区的特殊利益，帮助全球“遗产产业”解决后殖民时代的复杂需求。

This project investigates the difference between the intentions of the World Heritage system regarding Indigenous people and what it actually delivers. There is almost no research on this issue despite United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation's (UNESCO) aim to expand the non-Western dimensions of the World Heritage program. The study will develop innovative methods that integrate Western and Indigenous knowledge, substantially boosting knowledge of Indigenous perspectives on World Heritage. The outcome will be an evidence-based model that better mediates UNESCO's universalising approach with the particular interests of Indigenous communities, assisting the global 'heritage industry' to address the complex demands of the postcolonial era.
