   Chief Roi Mata’s Domain

   The first World Heritage site in Vanuatu, listed in 2008 and covering three places tied to Roi Mata, a paramount chief who died around 1600: his residence, the cave where he died, and his mass burial on Artok island, excavated in 1967.

   Vanuatu Cultural Centre

   The national cultural institution, founded in 1955, which runs a network of ni-Vanuatu fieldworkers recording their own communities' knowledge rather than sending anthropologists in. The model has since been copied across the Pacific.

   National Museum of Vanuatu

   The national museum, inside the cultural centre, holding slit drums, outrigger canoes and the sand drawing that UNESCO listed as intangible heritage — a single continuous line traced in sand that encodes a story or a song. Demonstrations are given most days.
