Heritage

Heritage is an interdisciplinary sector that brings together cultural, historical, indigenous, and natural inheritance.

These rich and vibrant forms of inheritance are handed down from the past through the practice of tradition.

The practice and traditions are made up of a combination of natural and human built elements that are significant to the collective life rooted in a particular community.
