Cultural Heritage and Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights Conference Venue: Burra, South Australia Dates: 3-5 December 2006 Convenors: Claire Smith and Heather Burke, Department of Archaeology, Flinders University Program Chair: Tim Ormsby This cross-disciplinary international conference will address the history of and contemporary developments in the intersections between cultural heritage and cultural and intellectual property rights in Indigenous customary and academic worlds. Key speakers include Julie Hollowell and George Nicholas, Canada; Maui Solomon, New Zealand; and Sven Ouzman, South Africa. The conference will be held in Burra, South Australia, in the traditional country of the Ngadjuri people. Burra is a significant location for discussion of this topic, since it was the site where the Burra Charter (the Australia ICOMOS charter for places of cultural significance) was developed. The significance of this charter is recognized internationally, and our planned conference also will be addressing issues of international significance. We expect that selected papers from this conference will form the core of an edited book.
