ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the issues principally in relation to Indigenous Australian communities, where tangible and intangible heritage cannot be separated. International and national codes of practice and chapters set out ethical codes to be followed in working with cultural heritage, research, archaeology and tourism. The principles of cooperation and collaboration are well understood by some archaeologists, community workers and some government agencies. It is also important to strengthen the ability and capacity of communities to be able to manage their own heritage and to work constructively with the tourism industry. Archaeologists such as Sharon Sullivan have initiated heritage management training programmes for Indigenous people. It is also important to strengthen the ability and capacity of communities to be able to manage their own heritage and to work constructively with the tourism industry. Archaeologists can contribute their skills and awareness to the business development model and help develop programmes based on informed understanding of authentic cultural heritage in locally appropriate ways.
