March 26, 2015 Anne Pyburn and Aida Abykanova discuss heritage, archaeology, and identity in Kyrgyzstan, and chat about their IPinCH-supported project, Grassroots Resource Preservation and Management in Kyrgyzstan.
"Now we are thinking about heritage as a living heritage; we try to protect the intention of people to care for [heritage] because it's part of their life and it will be part of their future."
