Defining Ethnoheriatge

What is Ethnoheriatge ?

The study of the systems of knowledge, practices, innovations and classification of heritage objects and concepts of different cultures. Ethnoheritage is not well studied. More studies and promotional activities need to be undertaken so that it is not lost like many ethnic languages that have disappeared.

What could be some examples of ethnoheritage?

Traditional medicine, traditional dances, traditional clothing, proverbs, traditional food recipes, traditional music, traditional religions, traditional wedding, etc.

Intangible heritage: arts and traditions of the world


“Intangible cultural heritage includes traditions or living expressions inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants, such as oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, arts, festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe or the knowledge and skills to produce traditional crafts.” UNESCO

Traditional medicine

“Traditional medicine is the sum total of the knowledge, skills, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness.” WHO
