The changing and evolving relationship between museums and communities; Indigenous; ethnic and marginalized; has been a primary point of discussion in the heritage sector in recent years. Questions of official and unofficial heritage; whose artefacts to collect and exhibit and why; have informed and influenced museum practice. Developing from this; a key issue is whether it is possible to raise awareness of differing cultural perspectives; values and beliefs and incorporate this into the education and training of heritage professionals; with the aim of making cultural awareness an integrated and sustainable core part of future heritage training and practice. This book discusses perceptions of values and ethics; authenticity and significance; and documents the historical; heritage and education context in North America; Scandinavia and the United Kingdom; with a particular emphasis on Aotearoa New Zealand. The author explores whether it is possible to learn respect for differing cultural perspectives through the undertaking of educational programmes; identifies various approaches that could complement the development of students and professionals in the cultural heritage and preservation sectors; and offers a means of actively engaging with cultural and professional values through a Taxonomy for Respecting Heritage and Values.
