“…The development of indigenous tourism sites will likely occur in an emic organic 'folkloric' process and is not only limited to the development of the tourism industry. In addition, this step can improve the welfare of the local community and culture (Lew, 2017;Mansilla & Milano, 2019;McGaw & Pieris, 2014;Sofield et al, 2017). The uniqueness of specific cultural places in indigenous villages must be preserved.…”

This study aims to find and define interiority as an initiative to preserve culture and traditions in Sade Village, Lombok Island, a tourist area in Indonesia. This study adopted qualitative research with the case study method, recording several data sources through field observation, literature studies, archives, and in-depth interviews with community leaders. This study identifies the typology of areas that create psychological, form-based, atmospheric, and programmatic interiority (Teston, 2020) in various configurations. This study found the types of interiorities in Sade Village that contribute to the corridor’s uniqueness, visitors’ feeling of insideness, and the area’s maintenance. Five categories of interiority, namely psychological, form-based, atmospheric, programmatic, and narrative interiority were found in the corridor of Sade Village. The finding on narrative interiority refers to the philosophy of social life of the local community, producing interiority by the meaningful ancient tradition and local beliefs. This study would contribute to increasing awareness of the inherent cultural values of Sade Village to strengthen the image of the area and its tourism potential.

“…Indigenous arts have been important in the restoration of cultural sovereignty to the materiality and memory of urban Indigenous communities (Foster ). Indigenous architecture, a sub‐field of architectural practice and scholarship, is another means of enhancing Indigenous urbanism (Malnar and Vodvarka ; McGaw and Pieris ). While architecture is a field currently being reclaimed by Indigenous peoples, Ted Jojola () uses several examples from across the Americas to demonstrate that it has been practiced with extraordinary achievements connecting settlement design, cultural landscapes, and Indigenous worldviews for thousands of years.…”

Prairie cities have large and growing Indigenous populations. The great resurgence of strong Indigenous cultures in Canada should foretell the impact Indigeneity will have over coming years across the full spectrum of urban geography. The study uses original 2014 survey data collected from seven prairie cities to examine the following question: What does the non‐Indigenous majority public think about increasing the role of Indigeneity in the procedural and material approaches to urbanism in prairie cities? Based on our findings we suggest that public attitudes among the non‐Indigenous populations of prairie cities are changing and becoming more positive towards trying new approaches to enabling Indigenous urbanism. Support is somewhat greater for municipal‐Indigenous governance options than for specific actions to infuse Indigeneity into the design and naming of public spaces. L'attitude du public face à l'indigénisme dans l'urbanisme des Prairies canadiennes La population indigène qui habite dans les villes des Prairies est nombreuse et grandissante. La forte recrudescence des cultures indigènes au Canada permettrait d'anticiper l'impact que l'indigénisme aura au cours des prochaines années sur l'ensemble de la géographie urbaine. Cet article propose d'explorer la question qui suit à partir des données originales d'enquête recueillies dans sept villes des Prairies en 2014: qu'est‐ce que les personnes de la majorité non indigène pensent de l'augmentation du rôle de l'indigénisme dans les démarches opérationnelles et substantielles de l'urbanisme des villes des Prairies? Les constats qui se dégagent de nos travaux montrent que l'attitude du public chez les populations non autochtones des villes des Prairies évolue et devient plus encline à essayer de nouvelles approches en matière d'urbanisme indigène. On est plutôt partisan des modes de gouvernance municipale indigène que des actions spécifiques visant à incorporer l'indigénisme dans la conception et la toponymie des espaces publics.

“…They continue to provide culturally sensitive services and to advocate for improved conditions for Indigenous people today [60]. Cultural reclamation practices, begun in the 1980s and 1990s, are also revitalising Indigenous communities [61]. Strengths-based approaches to Indigenous health research, which draw on Indigenous ways of knowing, doing and being, are also growing and having a positive impact on health and wellbeing [62].…”

Background Indigenous people in Australia experience far poorer health than non-Indigenous Australians. A growing body of research suggests that Indigenous people who are strong in their cultural identity experience better health than those who are not. Yet little is known about how Indigenous people create and maintain strong cultural identities in the contemporary context. This paper explores how Indigenous people in south-eastern Australia create and maintain strong cultural identities to support their health and wellbeing. Methods Data were collected from 44 Indigenous people living in the south-eastern Australian state of Victoria via yarning. Yarning is a cultural mode of conversation that privileges Indigenous ways of knowing, doing and being. Yarning participants were selected for their prominence within Victorian Indigenous health services and/or their prominence within the Victorian Indigenous community services sector more broadly. Due to the restrictions of COVID-19, yarns were conducted individually online via Zoom. Data were analysed employing constructivist grounded theory, which was the overarching qualitative research methodology. Results All yarning participants considered maintaining a strong cultural identity as vital to maintaining their health and wellbeing. They did this via four main ways: knowing one’s Mob and knowing one’s Country; connecting with one’s own Mob and with one’s own Country; connecting with Community and Country more broadly; and connecting with the more creative and/or expressive elements of Culture. Importantly, these practices are listed in order of priority. Indigenous people who either do not know their Mob or Country, or for whom the connections with their own Mob and their own Country are weak, may therefore be most vulnerable. This includes Stolen Generations survivors, their descendants, and others impacted by historical and contemporary child removal practices. Conclusions The yarns reveal some of the myriad practical ways that Indigenous people maintain a strong cultural identity in contemporary south-eastern Australia. While programs designed to foster connections to Community, Country and/or Culture may benefit all Indigenous participants, those most disconnected from their Ancestral roots may benefit most. Further research is required to determine how best to support Indigenous Victorians whose connections to their own Mob and their own Country are unable to be (re)built.
