ABSTRACT
The personal perspective of the people driving the Kelabit Highlands Community Museum Development Project offers an insight into their motivations and their resilience as they strive to articulate a representation of their identity. Since the end of WWII, the Kelabit people have dealt with a number of threats to their lifestyle. This includes the dissolution of traditional village structures and the loss of associated values. This chapter explains how encounters with western-style education and the concept of cultural landscapes have influenced and shaped the heritage conservation aims of the Kelabit leadership.
