(Re)visioning the Ma'ohi Landscape of Marae Taputapuatea, French Polynesia
World Heritage and Indigenous Knowledge Systems in the Pacific Islands
The significant increase in the number of inscriptions of sites among the Pacific island nations on the World Heritage List over the past decade is not matched by an equivalent increase in the representation of indigenous Pacific values. Although customary landowners have had a strong voice in these programs, in only two of eight nominations is Outstanding Universal Value expressed in traditional knowledge of place. In French Polynesia the local community is leading development of a World Heritage nomination for Taputapuatea Marae. The international historical and archeological significance, and the transnational cultural values, of the site are widely recognized, but community elders have insisted the nomination frame these values within their traditional knowledge of the site. The processes of recontextualizing these global values within local knowledge systems provide insight into the complexity in, and potential for addressing, the underrepresentation of indigenous values in the World Heritage system.
