Last June 2020, the Nayong Pilipino Foundation, in partnership with Tuklas Pilipinas Society, hosted a public consultation titled Umpukan sa Nayon: Telling Heritage Stories. This iteration was divided into two parts. The second part was called “Translating Heritage Stories in Philippine Archaeology.”
Carrying over from the discussion from the first part of the webinar, the discussion mainly involved engaging communities and localizing archaeological heritage. The speakers gave a background on both their studies and their audience as they explained the challenge they face in interpreting archaeological heritage. They each gave their own insights for audience development and the role of public archaeology relating to the programs of traditional institutions and alternative learning hubs, tourism and sustainable development, and cultural sensitivity and Filipino identity.
