What is Heritage Interpretation?
“I speak for the trees!” –The Lorax
You know that language interpreters speak the foreign language and translate it for you so you can understand. Resource interpreters do the same thing. Our resources can’t speak for themselves, so we interpreters do the talking. Like the Lorax, we speak for places, for long ago people, for nature, for ideas, for causes, for products. We speak for these in a meaningful way that the audience can understand.
Heritage Interpreters…
✓ speak to the heart and the mind
✓ while speaking for
✓ The past, present, and future
Heritage interpretation is a communication process useful for engaging anyone with any topic anywhere!
