David,
Good to get your perspective again, knowing more of your environs. I have
found the burra Charter to be helpful (much more so than the secretary of
interior standards, and so many of the Eurocentric charters) in developing a
book for the Hopi Tribe (in Arizona) to employ for conserving millennia-old
(over abused word that it is these days) architecture. Stuff like the Venice
Charter was particularly useless. Not abusing your compliment about
"Salts?", I refer you to another article, encompasing standards in light of
indigenous work based of my experience. It's at:
"Snow and Fire in the Fourth World: Perspectives on Western Preservation and
Hopi Cultural Preservation Initiatives:

To all,
If you have suggestion for adding other charters or standards to the
following list, please let me know. For that matter, I am looking for
similar lists so I don't have to compile them myself!

Take care,
