Research Questions
Task 1
What is custodian-led cultural heritage, and why is it important in Australia?
- Who are Traditional Custodians, and what is their role in caring for cultural heritage?
- What are some examples of cultural heritage (tangible and intangible) mentioned in the lesson or videos?
- Why is it important for communities to be involved in protecting these sites and traditions?
Task 2
How do Traditional Custodian groups and archaeologists work together to protect and record cultural heritage in Australia?
- Choose one case study (from the videos) and describe how the community and experts collaborated.
- What methods or technologies are used to discover and protect cultural heritage sites?
- How does this collaboration benefit both the community and cultural heritage preservation?
Task 3
Design a class project (physical or digital) to promote the importance of community collaboration in preserving cultural heritage in your local area.
- What local cultural heritage or community traditions could be highlighted or protected?
- Who in your community could work together on this project (e.g. elders, local historians, students, council)?
- How could you use digital tools (like a website, podcast, or digital collage) to share your project and raise awareness?
