“…However, these days, the chance of returning these objects to their places of origin where they were first looted has been overlooked in the policy of the Central Government. Although the Object Repatriation Committee involves ambassadors, experts from varied disciplines, and curators, none has represented the Tribal Peoples in the repatriation concerned (Smith et al, 2023).…”

This research explores the absence of the peoples of customary law in returning Lombok treasures before, during, and after repatriation, while international law and law in Indonesia recognise and respect the right to self-determination and participation of the people of customary law in a cultural sector. This article employed a normative-legal method supported by conceptual and case approaches. A descriptive-prescriptive method was employed, and data were analysed using content analysis. The results show that the government faces the challenge of determining official representatives of tribal peoples. Another challenge came from inadequate infrastructure and budget. The absence of the tribal peoples has led to the failure of achieving the reconciliation of unfair history, blocked access to helping with the research on the origin of the objects of cultural heritage, reinforced the content of agreements and cooperation of repatriation, and reintegrated the missing objects into their cultural context. This gap can be solved with two strategies reinforcing the role and participation of the tribal peoples in the repatriation process, namely by setting up the legal framework for the repatriation of cultural heritage objects and strengthening the involvement and legal standing of the tribal peoples. Through the study of Lombok treasures, this research contributes a valuable lesson and awareness, indicating that the State should recognise the right to participation of the peoples of customary law in an attempt to repatriate other objects of cultural heritage in the time to come.

“…Community groups oriented towards heritage conservation only emerged in 1987, long after Indonesia became independent from the Dutch in 1945 (Patria, 2021). Many Indonesian heritage statues and artifacts are bought and sold on the black market, taken from Hindu-Buddhist temples that are hundreds of years old (Smith et al, 2023). Conditions like this certainly demand more attention from all of us to act to make efforts that can increase public heritage awareness.…”

The Heritage awareness is an important element in ensuring the preservation of cultural heritage. Religion and cultural similarities are known to play an important role in heritage awareness. The problem in this research was the low awareness of the local community of their heritage, which was built from different religious cultures. In line with this, it is important to build an identity that can connect the community's religion with the religious context of the cultural heritage so that the community is aware of this heritage. This research aims to propose an architectural solution for raising public heritage awareness using religious similarity. Using literature review, the authors suggest the existence of a time tunnel that becomes a transitional space that connects people's current religious awareness with the past. The time tunnel is the context of cultural heritage in sites as well as in educational programs to raise awareness of the community's heritage as part of their identity. In general, the idea is supported by the liminality theory and threshold concept learning theory. We show the idea of using Buddhist heritage in contemporary Islamic Indonesia. These results provide concrete ideas based on architectural psychology and education and encourage the development of heritage conservation in areas that already have significant cultural differences from the communities that produce this heritage.
