Résumé en anglais
The community of Canberra, Australia’s national capital, has been asked for their views on the ‘Aboriginal Tent Embassy’. This land rights protest site, first established in 1972, has since grown into a large camp, standing vigil for reconciliation and an end to Indigenous third world living standards in a first world country. This ‘Aboriginal Embassy’ is heritage listed and sits within another listed heritage place, the ‘Parliament House Vista’, the centrepiece of the international winning design for the capital of Australia at its federation.The current consultation is an attempt by government and the managers of the Parliament setting to resolve various conflicts seen as triggered by the Tent Embassy: one as an eyesore in its formal surroundings and amongst solemn memorials; another the ongoing tension between the Aboriginal protestors and the local Indigenous community; and another, disagreement between heritage experts and urban planners.
This paper outlines how these conflicts are, or are not, being resolved given the competing settings and heritage values of each place, and in the light of the 1999 amendments to the national heritage conservation standard, Australia ICOMOS’ Burra Charter that increased recognition of community heritage values. Are there lessons to be learnt that apply internationally?
