In this episode we talk with mentor Duncan Major, and apprentice Katie Butler Major who are two participants of Heritage NL's Mentor-Apprentice Program.Duncan learned the craft of letterpress from Tara Bryan, a painter and book artist who was well known internationally for her letterpress work.

On the 10th episode of Indian Artpreneur Season 2, “The resilient Entrepreneurs” we speak to Datuk Ramli Ibrahim, the Artistic Director and Chairman of Sutra Foundation. Described by international dance connoisseurs as one of the finest artistes of his generation, Ramli Ibrahim is a cultural icon who has performed internationally for more than four decades. His rigorous training in ballet, modern, and Indian classical dance reflects not only his diverse technical accomplishment, but also his multifaceted approach to the performing arts. As artistic director of Sutra Dance Theatre, Ramli has choreographed stunning works and nurtured some of the brightest dance talents from Malaysia, many of whom have won international acclaim in both traditional and contemporary scenes. Ramli has been instrumental in transforming the dance scenario in Malaysia to greater heights. Today, he is known for single‐handedly establishing Odissi as a recognisable and widely appreciated dance form in the country, while creating a distinctively Malaysian interpretation of this ancient tradition. As a pioneer, Ramli is recognised internationally within the arts scene, evident in the numerous accolades conferred upon him. He is acknowledged as a ‘Living Heritage’ by the Government of Malaysia as the United Nations declared him to be a UNESCO Living Treasure in 2012. The President of India awarded Ramli the prestigious Sangeet Natak Akademi Award 2011, the first ever for a Malaysian. The award is recognised as the highest national honour conferred on performing artists, gurus and scholars of the performing arts. He was most recently conferred the Padma Shri Award from the Government of India in April 2018.

2020 ended with some exciting news for Singapore: in mid-December UNESCO added Singapore’s hawker culture to its list of intangible cultural heritage. In honor of this unique designation, we return to one of the first episodes of Home on the Dot, which explored Singapore’s rich hawker center culture and shared the stories of young “hawkerpreneurs” bringing new life to what is often perceived as a dying art. We also get a hot take on the UNESCO designation from Dr. Hamzah Muzaini, an expert on heritage and remembrance, who shares his pride and excitement for hawker culture and reflects on his own daily hawker routine.

This episode was originally aired sometime in 2015 on The Archaeology Podcast Network. It has been edited for content and sound as a rebroadcast without their branding or advertisements. I’ve said this before as I’ve re-edited some of the other archive episodes, but it’s an interesting experience to go back in time for the Go Dig a Hole podcast and take stock of how much I’ve grown as an archaeologist, and as a podcaster in the past several years. When I was in undergrad, and even in grad school, I didn’t have many opportunities to learn about Native American tribal consultation. Similarly, I didn’t encounter tribal consultation as part of cultural resource management until I moved from Kentucky to Oregon, where coordination with Native American tribes is much more common, and also my roles as an archaeologist have changed to where it’s been essential for me to learn about and build relationships with tribes in the area. So, the last few years have been a learning process for me to say the least. When I first had this conversation with Jessica Yaquinto of Living Heritage Anthropology, who also co-hosts the Heritage Voices podcast, I was really new to the whole thing. I still have a lot to learn, but this podcast episode marks somewhat of a starting point for me in learning about tribal consultation. For more about this super important aspect of anthropological archaeology, I recommend checking out the entire catalog of episodes at the Heritage Voices podcast. There are a lot of important indigenous perspectives shared there, and they’re chock full of knowledge. Jessica Yaquinto joins host, Christopher Sims, in this episode to chat about working with tribes. Her work through her company, Living Heritage, and affiliation with other organizations lets her use the full range of skills available to anthropological archaeology. She guides listeners through key concepts in working with Native American communities from the very beginning, and explores what it would take to build a more inclusive archaeology - one that includes Native voices.

Wesley Harris began silversmithing under his high school Art teacher, Arthur Brecken. Both this gentleman and his subsequent instructor at Cranbrook Academy of Art allowed Wesley to learn by trial and error. The underlying inspiration in Wesley's work is Nature.

In 2015 Wesley was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA), and we are delighted to feature him on this episode of Living Heritage.

In February 1918, the S.S. Florizel left St. John's on what would be its last journey. Blizzard conditions and miscommunication between the bridge and the engine room caused the vessel to crash into the rocks near Cappahayden, Newfoundland. Of the 137 souls on board, only 44 survived. One hundred years later, Heritage Foundation of NL folklorist Dale Jarvis and special guests Heather Elliott and Deanna Walter met at Admiralty House Communications Museum for a live audience recording of the Living Heritage radio show and podcast to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the shipwreck. We talk about the history of the S.S. Florizel disaster and the behind-the-scenes work that went into preparing the Faces of the Florizel exhibit.

Kristin Catherwood is the Intangible Cultural Heritage Development Officer for Heritage Saskatchewan. She studied Folklore at Memorial University of Newfoundland, and has a particular interest in vernacular architecture and cultural landscapes. Born and raised in the deep south of Saskatchewan on a family farm, Kristin is passionate about the cultural landscape and folk life of the rural prairies. Her graduate thesis, “Every Place had a Barn: The Barn as a Symbol of the Family Farm in Southern Saskatchewan” resulted in the The Barn Hunter blog which chronicled her cultural explorations of rural life. In her work with Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), Kristin uses storytelling as a tool to connect people with place, and believes in empowering communities to tell their own stories and curate their own heritage. Her love of and respect for rural life is at the heart of her work, and she once again calls the rural prairies home.

A final farewell, a piece of parting advice, a last request—when the end of life is near, the gravity of death adds weight to the words that are spoken. They make an impact. They stick with us. They leave their mark. The same is true of Paul's last letter to young Timothy. Writing from death row, Paul sent the letter to Timothy, his beloved son in the faith. Here are Paul's last words to a “young buck,” his mature counsel about what really matters, his ultimate exhortations to Timothy—and to us. Guard the gospel. Be strong in grace. Pursue righteousness. Endure hardship. Fight the good fight. And above all, keep the faith. For the strength that enables us to endure is found in the One who rescued us, upholds us, and will carry us safely to the end.

Presented by The Vatican II Series on November 13, 2013 The liturgical reform initiated by the Second Vatican Council is the most far reaching in Catholic history. It is also the most visible sign and fruit of what the Council intended. What happened at Vatican II to generate this reform? What changed and why? Now, fifty years later, is Vatican II "old news" or does it still give direction and hope to the Church today? Rita Ferrone received her MDiv from Yale in 1983. Since that time she has worked for the Catholic Church in parishes, diocesan offices, and as an independent scholar, writer, and consultant. She is the author of several books about liturgy, including: "Liturgy: Sacrosanctum Concilium", in the Paulist series, and "Rediscovering Vatican II", for which she won a Catholic Press Association award. She is a regular contributor to Commonweal and other Catholic journals.

The Mijikenda include nine Bantu-speaking ethnic groups in the Kaya forests of coastal Kenya. The identity of the Mijikenda is expressed through oral traditions and performing arts related to the sacred forests, which are also sources of valuable medicinal plants. These traditions and practices constitute their codes of ethics and governance systems, and include prayers, oath-taking, burial rites and charms, naming of the newly born, initiations, reconciliation, marriages and coronations. Kayas are fortified settlements whose cultural spaces are indispensable for the enactment of living traditions that underscore the identity, continuity and cohesion of the Mijikenda communities. The use of natural resources within the Kayas is regulated by traditional knowledge and practices that have contributed to the conservation of their biodiversity. The Kambi (Councils of Elders) acts as the custodians of these Kayas and the related cultural expressions. Today, Mijikenda communities are gradually abandoning the Kayas in favour of informal urban settlements. Due to pressure on land resources, urbanization and social transformations, the traditions and cultural practices associated to the Kaya settlements are fast diminishing, posing great danger to the social fabric and cohesiveness of the Mijikenda communities who venerate and celebrate them as their identity and symbol of continuity.
