This study 1 reviews the case of a specific heritage site, the Little Dutch Church in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The latter may be viewed as a vehicle for investigating both how cultural heritage activities reaffirm or confront our existing ideas about social relationships and how the generation and appropriation of meaning within heritage may play itself out in such relationships. In raising questions about meaning, there is a realization that national heritage and commemoration is negotiated as much at a local as at a national scale. In fact, it may be argued that meaning usually resides in a local sense of place. This article features online ( http://www.cjc-online.ca ) photographs of Halifax’s Little Dutch Church.
