    Honouliuli: A National Historic Site in the making

    One of our nation's newest National Historic Sites, the site of Honouliuli, will interpret the history of civilian incarceration and the experience of prisoners of war in Hawaii during World War II— an important and often glossed over part of America's past. To use the words of the National Park Service, it "will be a place to reflect on wartime experiences and recommit ourselves to the pursuit of freedom and justice." Join me as I chat with Hanako Wakatsuki, JHU Museum Studies Program alumna and Superintendent of Honouliuli National Historic Site, about the importance of interpreting complicated histories. And how understanding the historical context and trajectory of events in our nation's past can help us in the present and the future. She talks about the ways her own family's history is intertwined with the powerful stories she shares regarding the lived experience of Japanese Americans during World War II.

    Protecting our Heritage During Crisis

    The 21st century has seen an unprecedented threat to our global heritage—from natural disasters, extreme weather events, and climate change to military conflicts in some of our most sensitive areas of global heritage alongside the intentional targeting of cultural sites for destruction. During this episode, join me as I chat with Corine Wegener, director of the Smithsonian Cultural Rescue Initiative (SCRI), an outreach program dedicated to protecting cultural heritage in crisis situations. SCRI's work includes U.S. domestic and international responses to disasters in Haiti, Nepal, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq. It also offers disaster response and leadership training for cultural heritage stewards worldwide. Cori Wegener at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

    Cultural Burns: Understanding Indigenous Stewardship Practices and the Benefits of Intentional Fire

    The 2020 fire season in the US has seen another historic year, with record breaking fires across the Western US. But fire is not new, it has been part of the Indigenous cultural landscape for millennia; not framed as something to be feared but rather as something to be embraced as an intentional part of stewardship. For this episode we unpack a bit about this relationship and what it can mean for land management moving forward.   This episode is co-hosted by first-year Cultural Heritage Management graduate student, Emily Dayhoff. Emily is a Southern Sierra Miwuk and currently works as a Cultural Demonstrator and Park Ranger in Yosemite National Park. She gives interpretive programs on her ancestors and a variety of other topics related to the park.  Emily often engages in conversations about Indigenous fire stewardship and cultural burns with park visitors. Valley view of Yosemite National Park by King of Hearts - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=28519137.   During this episode Emily and I speak with Dr. Don Hankins, a Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at California State University, Chico and Field Director for the California State University Chico Ecological Reserves. His areas of expertise are pyrogeography, water resources, and conservation.   Combining his academic and cultural expertise as a Miwkoʔ (Plains Miwok) traditional cultural practitioner, he is particularly interested in the application of Indigenous land stewardship practices as a keystone process to aid in conservation and management of resources. Dr. Hankins is currently engaged in wildland fire research with an emphasis on landscape scale, prescribed and cultural burns; water research focused on ecocultural approaches to place with an emphasis on the Bay-Delta and tribal water rights.   Dr. Hankins has been involved in various aspects of land management and conservation for a variety of organizations and agencies including federal and Indigenous entities in both North America and Australia. More about his work can be found HERE. Landscape shaped by fire. Hundreds of lupins and fireweed.

    Heritage Stewardship: A Call to Action

    A conversation with Wanda Raschkow and Elizabeth Hora reveals some of the possibilities along with some of the challenges for implementing a statewide site stewardship program. Wanda serves as the Statewide Site Stewardship Program Coordinator for Friends of Cedar Mesa, a conservation-focused non-profit located in Bluff, Utah. Friends of Cedar Mesa works to ensure that public lands in San Juan County, with all their cultural and natural values, are respected and protected.  As part of that mission Friends of Cedar Mesa has partnered with the Utah Bureau of Land Management to develop a heritage stewardship program. Wanda served as a federal-agency archaeologist for 20 years before joining Friends of Cedar Mesa, she's worked with the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service. In each agency, she trained and mentored volunteer site stewards. Wanda believes that engaging the public in the care of our shared heritage is critical to preserving archaeological sites for the future. My other guest is Elizabeth Hora.

    Potentials and Pitfalls: Bali and the Impact of its World Heritage Status

    With its rice terraces and water temples, the subaks of Bali's cultural landscape blend the natural, cultural, and spiritual through a cooperative social system of management. The 2012 designation of the Cultural Landscape of Bali Province: the Subak System as a Manifestation of the Tri Hita Karana Philosophy, as a World Heritage site, brought about the potential for additional preservation alongside increased tourism but continued challenges to site management remain. Dr. Stephen Lansing, co-director of the Complexity Institute & a Professor in the Asian School of the Environment at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, talks about these challenges and potentials. Dr. Lansing worked on the successful nomination of Bali as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The nomination efforts developed out of his study of the subaks and water temple networks of Bali, a system key to the World Heritage site's eventual designation. Learn more about the UNESCO nomination process, the subsequent impacts on site management, and the future of Bali's cultural landscapes. Documents related to the World Heritage Site of Bali referenced in the podcast are available at UNESCO. Additional links to Dr. Lansing's work on Bali's subaks including publications, film, and video are available at slansing.org.
