One of the principles of the Queensland Heritage Trails Network
is that each project will present and link to the Indigenous
heritage of the region. In keeping with this principle, all
events, publicity and promotional material should include reference
to the project’s Indigenous content and in doing so, the
following guidelines should be followed.
- Identify the Traditional Custodians of the region;
- Acknowledge the Traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Custodians of the region;
- Be sensitive to issues regarding past history;
- Be sensitive to the use of material relating to Indigenous
peoples. Materials including photographs and letters may
not appear sensitive to non-indigenous people;
- Ask for assistance;
- Seek approval for the inclusion of Indigenous material
into the projects; and
- Acknowledge the ownership of items and stories collected.
QHTN has published a guide, ‘Taking
the Time’, to assist communities in this process.
If you would like further information, or a copy of the guide,
please send an email to heritagetrails@arts.qld.gov.au
or telephone 1800 638 250 (freecall inside Queensland). |
