Abstract

While mobilising indigenous communities, participation is considered one of the most challenging tasks in establishing an ecomuseum: the resulting sharing of power, resources, skills and knowledge often leads to unexpectedly rewarding outcomes, such as new interpretation opportunities and innovative landscape management planning. With the creation of a greater sense of collective ownership, more community-led initiatives are encouraged, thus forming an upward spiral. This article also suggests that interpretation and landscape management should be understood as a process of understanding, monitoring and conserving the interactions between community and its immediate environment, rather than as an end in themselves.
