Protecting Indigenous Cultural Heritage
FREE PUBLIC LECTURES | BURNABY AND VANCOUVER | SPRING 2015
One of Canada’s greatest challenges, both today and for the future, concerns the
protection of tangible and intangible heritage. Questions about the recognition, respect,
and protection of cultural heritage are often a source of conflict, with substantial social,
political, and economic consequences. The six dynamic and exciting speakers in this
interdisciplinary lecture series will explore these important issues. Please join us.
