When removed from their context important information can be detached from the work or object. This is known as intangible heritage. Intangible cultural heritage are the traditions and living expressions inherited from ancestors and passed on to descendants. Intangible heritage includes cultural practices, oral traditions and language, skills, techniques and knowledges including dance, stories, crafts, medicines, designs and even digital heritage. Intangible cultural heritage is commonly defined as not having a physical presence.
Removing this important information can be disrespectful to the people to whom the object belongs. It is important to understand and show respect for both tangible and intangible elements in relation to Indigenous culture, as without the cultural heritage the works do not often have the same meaning. Recording and acknowledging the ownership of any aspects of tangible and intangible Indigenous cultural heritage is important.
Gaining consent from those who own that heritage ensures that the exchange of information between you and Indigenous peoples is demonstrable and transparent. Tangible Cultural Heritage is everything that we can touch and we can perceive clearly. This refers to the Cultural Heritage including: buildings, historical places, monuments, handicraft, sculpture, painting, etc.
In this group are included objects from archeological sites, architectural structures, tools from technology and science from the different ancient cultures.
Tangible Heritage is divided in other two kinds of heritage: movable and immovable. The tangible movable heritage is composed by archeological, historic, ethnographic, religious and artistic objects, for example, artworks, manuscripts and documents, recordings, photographs, audiovisual documents, etc.
On the other hand, Immovable Tangible Heritage is composed by monuments, groups of buildings and sites. By embracing our diversity we can learn more about our world and ourselves, enabling us to grow and thrive spiritually. Cultural heritage is the legacy passed on from generation to generation.
Importantly, it shapes the way people live. Culture, though, can be separated into two different categories, tangible and intangible. Every year, cultural knowledge is being lost for many reasons. Languages die out, or archeological sites are not protected.
Yet, cultural diversity is also what makes our world an interesting and diverse place. It is also why such a field is an interesting one. It is worth recognizing the difference, however, between tangible and intangible culture. Additionally, working in each sector requires different skills and experience. Tangible cultural heritage refers to physical artifacts produced, maintained, and transmitted intergenerationally in a society.
