FPCC is excited to release a policy paper as a guide to help safeguard Indigenous Cultural Heritage (ICH).

FPCC is the only organization in B.C. mandated to support the revitalization of ICH and this paper marks the first time that a policy paper on ICH has been produced by, and for, Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

It is becoming increasingly urgent for Indigenous Peoples to lead efforts to protect our cultural heritage. The paper, Recognizing and Including Indigenous Cultural Heritage in B.C., is our first step towards developing a strategy to address all forms of B.C. Indigenous heritage.

In response to the need to revitalize, manage and protect ICH, FPCC collaborated with experts and leaders in cultural heritage to develop 10 recommendations, including the need for Indigenous leadership and control over ICH.

Please take the time to read this important policy paper and consider the recommendations that you may be able to support and implement in your community. There is also a one-page fact sheet on the recommendations that you can download for easy sharing.

Learn more, and download Recognizing and Including Indigenous Cultural Heritage in B.C. and the fact sheet that supports it here<http://www.fpcc.ca/about-us/news-room/news09271901.aspx>.

We invite you to share this paper and fact sheet with anyone who has an interest to revitalize and preserve ICH.
